Openwheel drivers to NASCAR
Every time we look another F1/IRL/CC/??? driver is rumored or reported to be coming to NASCAR.
Everyone has varying opinions on that with the openwheel fans being the loudest.
Instead of starting a new thread every time a new rumor appears, post it here.
That way anyone who cares can go to 1 thread & sing their driver's praises together.
Previous threads will be merged here.2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

JV to finally join the truck series????? - 24th Aug 07, 10:49
It's the buzz ou there . . . again.
I do hope JV joins the NASCAR circus. He has a very large and feisty fan base and can bring some excitement to the series.
Also, once he's in, the doors will open for Bush & Nextel series.
Let's see if this time it's for real.
mokin:
I think this is great news. One thing is for sure, they wont have a PR zombie. Jacques shoots from the hip and isn't afraid to hold his own out there....it could get interesting if he starts beating and banging on someone. I do think this may be the first time ever, or certainly in a long time that an f1 world champion has gotten behind the wheel of anything in NASCAR. I do think Jackie Stewart tried driving at Daytona once, but I am not sure....."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

In today's Journal de Montreal it says that if the testing goes well, he could be racing in the truck series next month in Vegas.

Montoya backs Villeneuve's move
By Diego Mejia
Friday, August 24th 2007, 23:00 GMT
Juan Pablo Montoya has welcomed Jacques Villeneuve's move into NASCAR, after it was announced today that the former Formula One world champion will be testing a Crafstman Series truck on Monday, hoping to start his stock-car career.
Villeneuve himself had backed Montoya's move to NASCAR when he learned about it last year, showing since then that he has interest in the series.
"I think it's cool," Montoya said about Villeneuve's move. "I think it's nice to see Jacques and hopefully he does well. If I can help in any way I will. He's a nice guy.
"He was a little bit like me. You know, he likes racing and he's an aggressive guy and I think he'll like it. I'm sure he will like it. We both run hard and people don't like that. I guess people here like it. Some do, some don't but I think the fans love it."Without sharing there can be no justice,
Without justice there can be no peace,
Without peace there can be no future.

Interesting comments from Juan, considering what he said about him during their shared F1 days.
I'm old enough that I don't have to put up with your crap anymore.

I don't understand how some people still doubt that he'll be racing.
I'll eat my shoe if he doesn't run the races that BDR says he will. Seriously. My shoe.
