JP did a good job in yesterday's race. He respected the the other driver's and didn't do anything stupid. I can't believe the race was called for darkness. It would have been interesting to see if he could have won in a 5-6 lap shoot out. He also received praise from the other drivers for his driving. Also, saw a story about JV and Nascar, if course it may be a one race deal as the Busch series will race in Montreal next year. With Marcus Ambrose moving up in class next year, Trucks to Busch series, I may have to pay a little more attention to NASCAR.

JV story.

The track organizer has recognized that he can draw more fans with a NASCAR event thann the slagging Champ car. He also was aware of the NASCAR Busch race where many Cup regulars whowed up for the large purse and drew a lot of fans and media attention.
That is his roadmap, to get a Busch race there, draw a lot of Cup regulars to it too. So Montoya seems a shoe-in, especially since it's a road race on a track he has driven many times. heck, I might be there if that happens.
