I don't know how heavy the cars are, but they are heavy, very low developed cars compared to Formula 1. I don't see the challenge

He was doing pretty good until his Truck got damaged in that incident. Much better than Lazier. He was awful.

Agreed. From his comments Lazier seems to have no idea..another Christian Fittipaldi.

My comment is late but no matter what vehicle Dario Franchitti drives, he will do well. He is an excellent driver!

This attitude is fine, as Stan says, he likely wouldn't enjoy it because in NASCAR, you are expected to get results or at least look good trying. Schuy is used to playing f1 politics and sandbagging any teammate who might get attention. That wont fly over here...and he knows it.

Didn't Ray Evernham offer Schumi an open invitation to test drive last year?

I would imagine that any NASCAR team that Michael Schumacher approached would bend over backwards to give him whatever he wanted.

heh heh heh

Michael Schumacher is almost 40 & is too old to be considered a "young gun" ... http://www.motorsportforum.com/forum...ongue-anim.gif
maybe they could find room for him in the Craftsman Truck Series ... http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...k/orn/evil.gif
The hard chargers in the Truck Series would love to "teach" Michael Schumacher ... http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ink/orn/00.gif

I disagree, I don't believe there would be any teams that would want to invest in him for Cup. Perhaps as RFS stated, for the Truck Series.

Michael Shumacher is a 7 time world champion and owner of nearly every important record conceivable in the pinacle of motorsports.

Any NASCAR organization he contacted would have a NEXTEL Cup car available for him at his request. With his participation would follow more than sufficient sponsorship for the effort and a worldwide following.

Of course, the second paragraph is just my opinion., but it is colored by the facts in the first paragraph.
