JPM in a stockcar this week!
Quote:
DOVER, Del. – A deal has been struck that will allow Juan Pablo Montoya to begin testing with Chip Ganassi and Felix Sabates' NASCAR operation, possibly as soon as next week, Yahoo! Sports has learned.
Montoya has been unable to practice in a stock car due to a contractual issue with his soon-to-be former employer McLaren-Mercedes F1. An agreement releasing Montoya from his contractual obligations to his F1 team is necessary before he can begin testing with Ganassi.
That agreement has been reached, according to a source within the Ganassi organization.
Details of the agreement have not been disclosed, though an announcement is expected soon. Ganassi/Sabates officials want the former F1 and Indy 500 winner behind the wheel of one of their cars as soon as possible in order to prepare for his entrance into Nextel Cup next season.

He reportedly will run 4 to 9 NASCAR races plus perhaps the ARCA race at Talladega to gain restricator plate experience. Let's hope this is true and that we can see JPM racing soon!
