Probably none of the team/cars that any of the OW drivers are getting into are able to break the top 15 in points, with an experienced driver. Getting/staying in the top 35 will be "success" for them. Breaking into the top 25 would be very good, and top 20 would be excellent.
Like "Truckmonster" I'll be supporting Jr at Daytona come February.Quote:

I would also suspect that with his record on US ovals (albeit in open wheelers) he would have had a better chance in a Stock Car than those other former IRL/CART/F1 drivers that have got a ride for 2008 in the Cup. I think that I'm right in saying that he has said in the past that he is interested in trying NASCAR at some stage, so maybe...?
I think Dario will do very well. He will suprise a lot of NASCAR fans next year.
Go Dario !!
hes gonna find out how tough Nascar quickly is, he wont be in the best car like he was in the IRL, the cars are heavier and he'll have to learn to go through the corners instead of being full throttle at most of the tracks that the IRL raced at.
He may get 1 top finish next year, but that will prolly be about it
Probably will not finsh in the top 20 in points. Just hope he doesn't do damage to those in contention for the chase.
should be 1 top ten finish, maybe...Quote:

Stremme in the team he's going into had 2. I think he will do at least that well. He may not be as talented as Montoya, but he probably won't make some of the low percentage moves that Montoya did either.Quote:
