How about Kimi Raikkonen - setting competitive times in a rally car until he did a jim Clark and wrecked it by trying too hard in the wrong place.Quote:

It did not go down very well - but what else can a successful f1 driver say anyway - he was just telling the truth within his ability. :D
Anyone else remmber that interview?
Pole and finished third. Those closing laps were great!

I wonder where all the NASCAr people are that claimed Montoya's experience on other forms wouldn't apply to NASCAR, and that he would quickly become a "wanna be"? :laugh:Quote:

Can't wait for Talladega.
He jumped from top 30 machinery all the way to top 5 with DEI know how for plate races.
What Juan has done this year is really impressive. I am rooting for him.

It sure has me watching NASCAR regularly after a forty+ year hiatus. I had an uncle who raced there in the 60's and watched whenever Wide World of Sports covered it. Since that time I would watch the odd race here and there and always the road course stuff. But now with Juan doing so well, I am watching when I can.

You and me both. :)Quote:
