    Arrow For us "newbies"

    When does the season start?
    When does Juan and the rest of the Nascar drivers start practicing?
    Is this like in F1 where different teams test on the same tracks?

    Mid January there will be a two day test at Daytona for half the teams, followed by a two day test for the other half. Usually the Nascar teams move into Daytona a couple of days after the 24 hour race, but this year there's an extra week in between (probably Super Bowl conflict). So expect to see news from the track about Feb 6-7. Race is Feb 18. The IROC race is about Feb 15 (if they find sponsorship) and I would think JMP would be a likely invitee.

    IROC will not invite JPM.

    IROC invites the top 5 in NNC points, Busch Champ, CTS champ, WoO champ, IRL Champ, Indy 500 Winner, I think the IRL top 3. and maybe another WoO driver

    I think in ths case they could bend their own rules, assuming of course that the series even takes the green flag this year.

    Special treatment? NAh! 7 Formula One wins, 27 podiums (top 3), 11 CART/Indycar wins including the Indy 500, a CART championship. He would merit an invite and join a list of IROC F1 invitees such as Emerson Fittipaldi, Graham Hill, JAmes Hunt, Jody Schecter, Denis Hulme et al. :

    IROC doesn't look at past history, they look at what they won this year.

    I forgot to mention the previous IROC champion gets invited as well

    Oh, then that's why Scott Sharp and Ryan Newman were there in 2006 for their stellar 2005 seasons
