Re: Daytona 500

Yeah, I hear ya about Montoya. He's a driver's Driver regardless of which race car type he drives. Was watching the Daytona Qualifying Race this noon and he lead some laps in the beginning before his engine quit on him. The dude's an ACE!

Admitted he is quite a bit older now but when he was in CART you could watch the in car camera and be amazed at his car control. His hands were so quick at correcting that from the outside the car looked stable but it was clear from the in car that he was driving it at the edge.

The other thing I like about Montoya in NASCAR is that he really seems to be enjoying it. He always has a big grin when he gets out of the car. He didn't have that in F1.
