Villeneuve ‘getting close’ to running NASCAR
Quote selected text Published February 20th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Former Indy Car, Indianapolis 500 and Formula One champion, Jacques Villeneuve, from Iberville, Quebec is close to getting started in NASCAR and will also race the famous Le Mans 24-hour event June 16-17 in France.
“It’s something he’s never done before,” agent Craig Pollock said Monday at Villeneuve’s record launch. “He’s done open wheel racing. People might find him going to NASCAR unusual, but which Formula One champion has ever had a chance to win the NASCAR series?”
Pollock said Villeneuve is “very close” to lining up a title sponsor for a NASCAR ride. Villeneuve may do some driving in ARCA, the Craftsman truck series and the Busch series, which has a race in Montreal on Aug. 4, before moving up to Nextel Cup.
