Juan Pablo Montoya Adjusts Well to NASCAR

Once again, Grand Prix Champ doesn't cover NASCAR, but how can we resist reporting that former formula 1 driver, Juan Pablo Montoya, has captured his first win in NASCAR. He is racing part-time in the NASCAR Busch series, which visited Mexico City this weekend. On the Mexico City road course he gave fellow open wheel road course specialist, and Chip Ganassi teammate, Scott Pruett, a tap in the rear bumper sending him for a spin. Montoya went on to win, relegating Pruett to fifth.

The Sacramento Bee covered it with the story "Montoya Masterful in Mexico"
