Montoya leaves void in F1 - moves onto NASCAR

As i had mentioned in one of my previous posts, i like JPM's driving style but i have to agree that F1 isn't the right place for him to blossom because of limited overtaking opportunities. Read this article in BBC on JPM's exit from F1. I am extremely confident that JPM will shine in NASCAR Nextel cup also(hopefully in 2007 season itself)

The only surprise for me is why Meclaren and JPM parted ways with immediate effect. This give me the additional motivation to watch and learn NASCAR. I know it is huge here in US. I remember watching a race on TV last year and 1,65,000 people were at the stadium cheering...The leading NASCAR drivers like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart to name a few have huge following in US and are big celebrities.
