Juan Pablo Montoya

Hometown:  Bogota, Colombia

A race car driver.  Formerly in the Formula 1 series, in 2006 he made the switch to NASCAR.

His stock car racing career began late in the 2006 season with an ARCA event.  He then raced in the NASCAR Busch Series until the Nextel Cup season-ending Ford 400.  He finished 34th after a fiery crash.  In 2007, he won two races, one in the Busch Series and the other in the Nextel Cup, both on road courses.

Quotes

"It takes a lot of confidence and it's a huge amount of pressure to say, 'I'm leaving F1 and going over to NASCAR.'  You've got to give him credit for that, which is why he's been accepted so well.  And it's good for the sport.  Once that competition side starts coming out and he starts competing for wins...once he starts winning, that's all going to change."  Jeff Gordon, on Juan Pablo Montoya's move from Formula 1 to NASCAR
