    I've had it. I cannot stand seeing Colombia's greatest driver of all time having his prestige dragged on the filth by staying at the bump cars series and finishing every race 35th and beyond. Last race he was even crashed on purpose. I've heard he's friend with the owner of Red Bull and he has offered him a return to F1. Or at least go to IndyCar, for crying out loud. But how on earth can this guy like so much being the laughingstock of Nascar??

    Now there's a great competition to have that title. Who else is there outside of Roberto Guerrero?

    It's his career, not yours. And he's being paid more in NASCAR than he would be in Indycar or F1.

    He has ran very well in the past couple races, he just had misfortune take him out and a dumbass in David Gilliland.

    There's no more competition. But look at this guy's achievements. The guy's won at real temples of car racing like Monaco, Monza, Indianapolis and Daytona. I cannot believe he would go from that to being 35th and continue life as if it doesn't matter.

    Toro Rosso is Vettel's team, right? They're only gonna get better next year. Oh my, this guy's a bonehead...

    One of Auto Racing's Rules of Thumb: Satellites are not allowed to challenge on an extended basis. Once they start challenging they receive worse equipment. Toro Rosso will not be allowed to humiliate again the parent Red Bull team next year.

    Is running around in 35th in NASCAR any worse than running around in 14th in F1? Not just no, hell no. Do you seriously think anyone cares or gives a sh*t about Kaz Nakajima? If you're not on the top three or four teams, no one cares about you anyway and you're little more than a field filler.

    At least in NASCAR, he's getting paid far better than he would be if he were in F1 currently. When he was talking with Ganassi prior to coming to NASCAR, when the issue of money came up, Montoya asked to be paid a certain amount, and Ganassi agreed to it on the spot. Think about it, there was no negotiating, and Ganassi is notoriously cheap. What that tells you is he's being paid as much to be mid-pack in NASCAR as he was driving around in 5th or so his last couple years in F1.

    It all comes down to the Benjamins.

    How far are we from the days the title of this thread made any sense. Very well done, Juan. You've shut up many mouths, including mine. Now imagine a foreigner winning the sprint cup. ¡All hell would break loose! It would be lovely!

    It's. Still. NASCAR.

    It would appear so.

    I am not a fan of him but I believe he has earned much and more than enough. He has enjoyed the prime of his career.
