Top Ten Reasons Juan Pablo Montoya Is Making The Move to NASCAR
Frontstretch Top Ten · Kim DeHaven · Tuesday July 11, 2006
10. He can’t wait to see a Columbian flag flying beside a Rebel flag.
9. He heard there was an opening for the “hot tempered bad boy” in NASCAR now that Tony Stewart has “mellowed with age” and he fits the bill perfectly.
8. Chip told him he would be switching cars with Jeff Gordon again, just like they did on “Tradin’ Paint” in 2003.
7. In racing, at the ripe old age of 30 it’s called a “mid-career crisis!!!”
6. He was tired of the F1 politics and thinks NASCAR will be a refreshing change. Silly Columbian boy!
5. Driving a car with fenders will be fun. He can bang wheels with his competitors and not take out half the field.
4. At Chip Ganassi Racing, he’ll have TWO teammates he can take out of races.
3. He has a bet going with Michael Schumacher on how many weeks will it take the “redneck NASCAR fans” to start calling him “JP.”
2. He didn’t like his passport photo.
1. THE MONEY!
