Racer: Brave New World
He may have been one of Formula One's best talents, but in the world of stock car racing, Juan Pablo Montoya is just a rookie
The juxtaposition and irony are as rich as the black soil upon which he stands. Here we find Juan Pablo Montoya, winner of millions in Formula One prize money, five months removed from the streets of Monte Carlo, standing in what once was a cornfield in Iowa, signing autographs on a windy, 50-degree day. And, perhaps even more rich, he's thoroughly enjoying himself.
That's not where the story of Montoya's transformation begins, just where it stands presently. For those living in a cave, Montoya is in the process of a professional U-turn, taking his credentials from racing's global pinnacle to its more regional cousin, NASCAR.
