Montoya

[JohnMickish]

In case you haven't heard Juan Pablo was one of the drivers that won the 24 hours of Daytona for Gannassi.

Not bad for his first time in a Daytona Prototype car.

This guy can drive and if they ever get him in a good car he is one guy that can put a stop to this Jr. Vs Gordon Vs. Stewart Vs. Kenseth thing.

It will be interesting to see how he fares this year over 36 races. He seems pretty focused on doing whatever he has to do to succeed in NASCAR.

Casey Mears was part of last years winning team , Can't say he did to much last year! But who knows

[JohnMickish]

I should have added that it was also his first race at that track and in that type of car.

Juan Pablo can flat out drive. No one should doubt that.

There is more to winning in Cup than just being able to drive though. There is team work and equipment and that is where Ganassi seems to fall short. He will be interesting to watch though that's for sure. I really think he'll surprise some people. The dude is a hot shoe!

[JohnMickish]

You have to wonder if Ganassi will ever get on the "A" list.

I personally dont like montoya...

It wasn't all that long ago that sterling marlin was doing really well in a ganassi car. So...I don't think it will be the car to call the issue.

Montoya is going to be fun to watch this year. As lawdog stated...the guy can drive anything, and if it is new, he has a really good "feel" for what he needs to do in order to drive well. If the teamwork is there (which I am guessing will not be an issue) I would not be surprised that he breaks the top 15 in points this year, and within a short amount of time will have his Championship.

Been a while since Genassi has had a top-notch driver in the seat....

Gonna be a fun year to watch. 17 days boys!!

Juan-Bon-Mon-Yawn, whatever!!

A washed up, broken english speaking, Columbian, former F1/CART driver, won one championship (Cart 99') in the last 17 years.

No wonder he's jumping ship from F1/cart.

[JohnMickish]

Lets be fair here, in two seasons in CART, he was rookie of the year in one year and champion in the other. 10 wins total.

F1 he has a total of 7 wins.

Also has one F3000 championship.

Thats not to bad.
