Montoya enters Talladega ARCA race
Juan Pablo Montoya will make his stock car racing debut in just over a week's time at Talladega Superspeedway, his team Chip Ganassi Racing announced today
Montoya will drive the No. 4 Texaco/Havoline Dodge in the ARCA RE/MAX Series on Friday, October 6, in the Food World 250.
The Colombian, who announced last July he is switching to NASCAR racing and leaving Formula One, has been testing at Talladega this week with Ganassi for the first time.
And, speaking of his first experience around the tri-oval Talladega circuit, Montoya was ecstatic.
"It was like, oh my God!" he exclaimed, when asked to describe the experience. "I came out of the pits, and I went into Turns 3 and 4.
"I just went full throttle and went into it. It felt pretty quick; it moves a lot more than what I'm used to."
Chip Ganassi has made it clear he would like Montoya to enter as many races as possible this year, before embarking on his full Nextel Cup season next year, in the No. 42 Dodge charger.
