Ganassi to shut down Montoya’s Busch team
Quote selected text Published August 2nd, 2007 in NASCAR News
Juan Pablo Montoya will race in his final Busch Series event next week at Watkins Glen, then the team will stop competing. Chip Ganassi Racing officials said Wednesday the No. 42 Busch program was formed only to help Montoya adjust to NASCAR after six seasons in Formula One.
He drove the car to a win in March on the road course in Mexico City, and will try for another one in Watkins Glen, N.Y., next Saturday. After that, Ganassi will stop operating the team because the remainder of the schedule isn’t a good fit with Montoya’s Nextel Cup season.

Man that stinks! My brother is friends with Kevin Hamlin, who has sat in for JPM lately and had some very good runs. He was supposed to drive later this year a Memphis, but I guess that won’t be happening now!
If the only reason they were running so much was to get JPM comfortable in a stock car, mission accomplished, in my opinion!
Move over, JPM, Alex Garcia is a-comin’.
Too bad he isnt running the Montreal race. He would win that!
Thank god i cant stand seeing that stupid car in the the races!! one down one to go!!!
