Default Montoya out of a ride in 2014...

Was fun to watch in open wheel cars. Shame he has wasted away in NASCAR but will be interesting to see what his next move will be.

He might as well pick up a ride in IndyCar before retiring........

I thought he wasnt too unreasonable at Indy. He was brought in for a purpose to be a aggressive and push Peter Baron's cars around. He did what he was paid to do.

But i dont like the dude because of his interview at the recent Indy brickyard race. i dont want to be misquoted and maybe i got it wrong. nascar cup was there same weekend and some of the cup drivers were in the paddock watching the rolex race. they interviewed jamie mcmurray. dude was like craving and begging to be in that race, to run the 24. totally hopped and excited to want to be in a sports car. they interviewed tony kannan who had just gotten out of a DP and he was so appreciative, so thankful for the opportunity "had such a good time i didnt want to get out". and then they did montoya and he was like 'eh, not sure if i would want to run if invited." no enthusiasm, just no passion for it.
we'd all give our left nut to get in hose cars at a rolex race....and for him, eh, he cant be bothered.

enjoy retirement.

And then compare that with Tony Stewart who will race you, me or anyone else on a dirt track on Saturday night in small town USA. Never liked Whine Pablo in F1 and don't think much of his candy ***. Maybe he can hang out with Mark Webber now

I don't think he fits in any race car besides a NASCAR?

And who among us hasn't hit a Jet Dryer during a full course caution?

The Jet Dry truck was out of position, was using its flashing lights in an attempt to blind oncoming drivers and clearly swerved to hit JPM

I wondered for some time how he was still in that seat.

I don't presently remember why the heck I was watching a NASCAR race, but I was watching when this happened. I remember thinking that this was the most entertaining thing I had ever seen in NASCAR.
