Cup, Busch and ARCA for Juan

UPDATE The Juan Pablo Montoya game plan appears to be coming together quickly, and he could be in Chip Ganassi's ARCA and Busch cars for the August Michigan weekend, in preparation for a tentative Nextel Cup debut at California Speedway on Labor Day weekend.

One question – what will be on the car's quarterpanels, since Montoya's sponsorship contract with Mobil runs through the end of the year and precludes him in a Texaco logoed car.

Donnie Wingo is tentatively set to be Montoya's crew chief next season: "They're going to try to run him as much as they can, as many ARCA and Busch races as we can.

The biggest thing he'll have to get used to is the weight and the brakes. That's why we'll probably to go a short track like Caraway or Lakeland.

"All the seat time he can get will be a plus for next year. And I'm pretty excited. You know this guy has a lot of talent because he races a lot of different kinds of cars and wins." Winston Salem Journal
