Montoya to try his hand at NASCAR?
Juan Pablo Montoya has achieved success at almost everything he has ever tried his hand at, winning the F3000 series in 1998 before moving on to the ChampCar series in the US to take the title there as well, in his rookie season. Now in Formula One, the Colombian secured his maiden victory in his debut year, a rare feat in itself given today's level of competition.

One other accomplishment this twenty-six year old driver has to his credit, is winning the famous Indy 500 and according to the latest reports, during the three week break prior to the next round on the Formula One calendar in Hungary, Juan Pablo is planning on revisiting the venue.

The BMW Williams driver is expected to try his hand at the American racing series, NASCAR, when he takes to the wheel of Jeff Gordon's number 24 Dupont on the 12th of August. Meanwhile, Gordon, the youngest ever in the modern era of NASCAR history to win the Winston Cup back in 1995, will take to the BMW Williams F1.

Partly sponsored by BMW, Juan Pablo will return to the scene of the Brickyard's oval layout, where he won the Indy 500 back in the year 2000, while Gordon will lap the infield created for the Formula One series.
