Question

brillant road course racer

zalex

Answer 1

they picking who they want to win- i dont montoya to win i hate him

i want JR to win he needs the 10 bonus points for the chase

Answer 2

His team isn't good and he hasn't dominated road courses like everybody said he would.  He wasn't even a top 10 car when he got his win.  He gambled and by all calculations should have run out of gas.

Stewart and both Gordons are all much better NASCAR road course drivers than he is.

His other road course wins were in the Nationwide Series which has no where near as much talent and he wrecked his teammate to win there.

Answer 3

i think alot of people are not picking him because there was a question about who they thought was arrogant and he was put down quite alot, and i think he is arrogant and his interviews especially last year with that whole incident with harvick he lied about who touched the other first.he thinks that other people are to blame incidents when he was involved in it too. Its his arrogance right now that alot of people dont like now.

or the fact that he has only won one race and that was last year and he has not had enough top fives or tens (maybe a few but not enough) people pick drivers who are consistant and have a few wins under their belt. the popular drivers or drivers who dominate and he has not done either that could be another reason as to why they are not picking him.

edit : i did state that there was a question that said who is the nice driver and who is the arrogant driver and he was put down alot. the reasons as to why his interviews(what he says, did he blame others , or how he talks about the race and reacts to it.) simply that he has not dominated or won enough i think that people go for consistant drivers and drivers who have a few wins under their belt. he has only one one but that was last year. i have noticed that some of the wrecks that he was involved in he thought he could block the other driver like he can if he was in that other series. you cant block another driver cause your going down for a one way street of wrecking and taking the other guy with you. even the commentators said that he was blocking and also said that you cannot block people cause you end up wrecking. If he just stops doing that maybe he will get more top tens and five and maybe more wins.

Answer 4

JPM is too hot headed and will wreck himself!

Answer 5

simple, i'm not picking jpm because i don't think he's going to win it. he may be a great road course racer, but he's not doing so well this year - internal problems at ganassi seem to be sucking the life out of his performance. and he didn't finish so well last year, although he was seriously moving up before the little "incident" in turn one...

;-)

Answer 6

he might win you never know he is good on road courses.

Answer 7

Simple: His team sucks. He's getting screwed over at Ganassi this year, just like his teammates.

Answer 8

Did he win a race this year? I heard from people he has a good chance.

Answer 9

they are. you just don't know about it

Answer 10

Montoya has only won one race, and that was on fuel millage.  I am not taking that win away from him, he is a great road course racer, and he is always on my fantasy team during road course weeks because thats a free chance to get some good points without using up any other drivers who might be better on ovals...

The safe bet is a driver with one of the power teams.  Montoya is running with equipment that always seems more prone to failure.  I dont know what it is but it always seems that Montoya takes him out of the race very seldom, its normally a part failure, or something that he cannot control.  That being said, road courses are so much harder on a driver and his equipment he chances for failure of any kind is greater for any driver...

Plus you have to remember these are some of the greatest drivers in the world, even more so now with the integration of some of the indy drivers and F1 drivers...

Also Montoya is still a newbie to nascar, these cars stop different than F1 cars, or Indy cars, they have no traction control, and are much, much, heavier... I would say that he knows the road courses... no doubt about that... but hes not the safest pick in my eyes...

Answer 11

Cause he is a f1 reject  

Answer 12

I have him in my fantasy pool..don;t know it he will win, but hey its a road course and you never know....everyone laughed at me when I had him in my fantasy pool for Sonoma last yr....yep he won..

Go Dale Jr & HMS

Answer 13

because GORDON is a better driver..montoya should go back to that sissy league....

Answer 14

Ganassi's having a nightmare season. #40 shut down, drama on and off the track with the team, things could be better. Hopefully they can get it turned around, but I don't see Ganassi winning this season. Just an opinion. I know all the JPM fans would love to see it and it would be nice to see a different face in victory lane.

Answer 15

Chip has got some major problems this year. I love JPM but Chip Ganassi Racing needs help.

Answer 16

He's starting 25th, but he could still do really well.  I would love to see JPM win for a change.

Go Jr.>>>>>

Answer 17

He is a good road racer, but I think his team is struggling too hard for anyone to give him a legitimate shot. He did win a road course race last year, but his team was better last year too. Having a different crew and crew-chief means alot.

Answer 18

Well let's see here. I saw him win in Mexico by wrecking his team mate. I saw him win last year on fuel milage. Gordon and Stewart are the two best road racers out there. Hmmm I'll go with Gordon.

Answer 19

I just don't like him.
