Ah, Sonoma. Where things slow down to the point of fermentation. This week, the Nascar boys add right hand turns to their repertoire and slow things down as they tackle the road course at Infineon.
This week marks the first race where Juan Pablo Montoya could steal the spotlight. And the week where the pressure will be on Montoya to perform. As a Formula One winner, the road courses should be Montoya's forte on the Cup circuit.
What is Sonoma compared to Monaco? Or Spa? Or Monza?
Montoya delivered in his first chance at Nascar glory in Mexico City during the Busch race. Of Course, it took aggressive driving, and spinning a teammate at the end of the race to make it happen.
Will Montoya go to such lengths again? Or will he be content to finish with a top 5? 10? 25? Or will he want to win in his rookie season so badly that not even Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart can stop him?
I think he'll be ready to go... Otherwise, there's always Watkins Glen in August...
