110 laps to go in Atlanta and my man Juan is now in the top five.
Too early, I know . . . .
but there he is . . . . and climbing!!!! :D
4th . . .
79 to go.
looking good . . . . Real good!!!!
:D :s mokin:
3rd . . . 65 to go
5th place at the checkered flag.
Not bad Juan Pablo, not bad at all. :D
this "rookie" is doing good.
:s mokin:
Well, Race, Juan finished fifth for his first top 5. I would equate it to your first podium in F1, so all in all a great weekend for tu paisano! :up:
Very cool indeed Alexmateo and best of all, after watching the first F1 race in Australia, I am now getting to realize how exciting Nascar actually is . . . of course it helps when your fave racer is doing good :pQuote:

edit* as a side note. Juan was VERY happy yesterday with his 8th place @ Bush but not a happy camper with today's fifth. He wanted more, he's getting hungry and pissed off and that for his fans is a good thing.
good race by Montoya, he could had a challange if he didn't scrub the wall off two.
now its time for some fun with Bristol :D
but Rookies run well at Atlanta, Ganassi cars were good along with Stremme and Sorenson.
Great run by Juan.
Great job from JPM!
BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY!!!
Found this interesting press release:
http://www.motorsport.com/news/artic...&FS=NASCAR-CUP
I love this quote:
Also mentions how JPM is adapting his driving style for stock cars ie. driving a loose race car and using the high groove a la Dale Jnr:Quote:
"I think this (Atlanta) was a good weekend. I think the next ones are going to be pretty hard. We've got Bristol, that's going to be a nightmare. Martinsville will probably be another tough one. Darlington, let's not even talk about that one!"
Quote:
It's really hard, one of the hardest things I've found in the Ganassi cars, and I haven't driven anybody else's, is to get back on the gas. When I run the bottom I think I use a little more wheel. When you've got a lot of wheel and get on the gas it gets really loose, so when you run the top you've got a little less wheel. It's probably that, I don't know.
Who it reminds me of more is Carl Edwards of 2 & 3 years ago, when he was nearly untouchable running the high line in the strong Roush intermediate-length-track cars. However, Carl can't drive a road course or superspeedway worth crud. JPM doesn't have that problem, and WILL be a superstar in NASCAR.Quote:
