Colin McRae naar NASCAR ?

Quote:
Colin McRae will meet representatives from America's stock car racing series, NASCAR, later this month to discuss a move to the country's most popular form of motorsport, reports the Scotland on Sunday newspaper.

McRae could lose his seat at pace-setters Citroen at the end of this season and while the Scot says he's determined to stay in the WRC, he's exploring all avenues, including NASCAR.

“All the doors aren’t closed in WRC and I always said if I stopped in WRC I would still like to continue a driving career," he said. "There are lots of interesting proposals but I would like to try and stay here as much as I can.

"I think I would be quick enough but F1 would require a massive amount of commitment," he told the Scottish newspaper. "What appeals to me more is GT racing or NASCAR."

McRae has had a taste of oval racing before. Last year he took part in a UK version of stock car racing, ASCAR at the Rockingham Motor Speedway (pictured). He was racing as high as fourth place before a puncture dropped his down to sixth.
