Mexican drivers to look to NASCAR now
In a recent NASCAR.com interview Adrian Fernandez was asked the following question:
Do you see young Mexican drivers looking to NASCAR instead of Champ Car or the IRL?
I think they will, just because I think there will be more opportunities for them. But at least they have other opportunities, and that's what I like. They will have an opportunity to participate in Champ Cars or IndyCars or NASCAR. To me, that's what I'm most proud of in what has happened in racing the last few years in my country. When I went to Europe, there was nobody to help you, absolutely no one. Everybody said when I went to Europe that I was crazy. I was fighting for my dream. Now, there are opportunities and openings.
