Didn't he get parked in the ARCA Trucks for aggressive driving?

That was one race at Lake County. He wasn't the only one parked.

Every race I've seen him at this year, he's always sideways through the corners:

ARCA Trucks at 25? Not exactly promising. How the fuck does that get picked up by the media.

He wants to be in NASCAR in a couple years. While I like the ARCA Truck Series and all that, Bobby Dale has a long way to go to get to NASCAR, and at that age, I don't know if it'll happen. I think he wants to do it on his own at least, and not because of his last name. I heard him mention something about moving up to ARCA next year but haven't seen any details.

Bobby Dale is one of the most southern names I've ever heard.

Juan Pablo Montoya won't be back at Ganassi in 2014, apparently.

Quote:
The Associated Press has learned Juan Pablo Montoya will not be back for an eighth NASCAR season with Chip Ganassi.

Ganassi President Steve Lauletta announced the decision to the team Tuesday, multiple people present for the announcement told AP on the condition of anonymity because Ganassi does not comment on driver contracts.

Montoya has been with Ganassi since 2006 when he abruptly left Formula One for NASCAR. It's his second stint with the car owner — the two teamed together to win the 1999 CART championship and 2000 Indianapolis 500 before Montoya moved to F1.

But results in NASCAR have been sporadic. Montoya has just two wins in 239 career starts and his best season finish was eighth in 2009.

Confirmed:
Quote:
Felix Sabates confirms to Sirius XM NASCAR that Juan Pablo Montoya will NOT be back with Earnhardt Ganassi Racing next year.

Not a surprise but still surprised. Thought he'd finish his career out at Ganassi but it only says Earnhardt-Ganassi maybe he'll be on their sports car team. Maybe they'll move Larson up to Cup next year.

Replacing Pruett or Rojas? Unlikely but that partnership hasn't been stellar this year so never know.

I can see Pruett hanging up his helmet. Or the #02 runs fulltime.

Gotta say that he's been disappointing in NASCAR, but seeing as his form is stronger now than it has been since 2009, I hope he can grab that oval win before the season ends.

I'd like to see Kurt Busch in the #42 and Larson going to the #1 in 2015. Montoya to go to the Rolex series. Or maybe the trucks for novelty value.

Kurt is doing great where he is, tbh. It's great to see a single car operation (albeit with RCR support) contending for wins and a Chase spot. Going to Ganassi will only result in him rage-quitting at Chip's shoddy management of the stock car side that he obviously never cared for as much as his road racing stuff.

And Larson will probably bolt from Ganassi as soon as his contract is up with them at the end of 2014. Someone of his caliber is definitely going to get offers from the best Cup teams.

If Montoya has been disappointing then what would you say of his NASCAR team? Ganassi have been nowhere these past couple of seasons and had numerous reliability issues.

I laughed at this

I understand. I mean, JPM has only 2 wins since 2007. Any driver with only 2 wins since 2007 should be...OH HOLY S--T don't unfollow me...

(He's talking about Earnhardt Jr)

As for the Montoya thing, I'm the same as Hotdogger, surprised, but not surprised.
