I hope it keeps the Pablo in there. It just seems to roll off the tongue better.

I recall a F3000 race at Monaco where he wasn't afraid to use his front bumper. Well, front wing actually. It was embarrassingly aggressive stuff, but despite a change of nosecone, a penalty and a lap on a puncture he finished 6th. |

Anyway back to point. Enjoyed reading the quote of his first test immensly. Really, really glad to see him at the wheel again - his style of describing how he's handled the car is a bit reminiscent of Gilles. Tell it how it is man!! Can't wait to see how he goes in his first race!! |

There's an article about Montoya's test at Talladega at the SpeedTV.com site. I like this part:

I'm not complaining though - seeing him make his stock car debut at Talladega (one of my favorite ovals) is going to be sweet |

Pretty daunting place to make a debut isn't it?
Pity I won't be able to see it. |

He should have no problem hanging on to the lead pack - remember that he'll be driving a car prepared by a NEXTEL Cup team, meaning he'll most likely have an edge, in terms of power, compared to probably almost the majority of the ARCA regulars.
Avoiding mistakes and keeping out of trouble caused by others will be the key - if he can do that I expect him to finish in the top 10, at least. |

Juan Pablo Montoya qualified second for today's Food World 250 ARCA RE/MAX race - he missed the pole by just 0.01sec! "Restrictor Plate King" Bobby Gerhart will start from the top spot.

Hmmm, a Friday race then?!
Saw some interesting quotes from old sparring partners Helio and TK somewhere or other. Both basically saying he'll adapt fine because he's a real talent, fierce competitor and quick learner. |
