what happend to him last night he just didn
t have it

[Jimmy Johnson Fanatic]

You're telling me. Their all out of contention now. Unless Jimmie misses a race he's won. Sweeeeeet.
Martin 17 finish didn't help him any either. Jimmie has it in the bag Montoya, Hamlin, Biffle, Martin, Vickers, etc. thanks for coming. Come again.

he's never had it ...

Juan needs to kick Brian Patty's ass for leaving him out there trying to make laps in the car. It wasn't anyone in particulars fault that the car got damaged when everyone stacked up on the restart. If they had brought him to the pits and took the time to fix the car properly, things would have come out differently. Had they took another 10 seconds to put some bear bond on the leading edge of the sheet metal they put on, it would not have popped the screws and came off. After all the hard work by everyone getting to the point they were at when the race started, the crew chief and engineers let the team down with some bad decisions and they should step up and take responsibility. I don't blame Juan for being pissed. He's driven his butt off in the last four previous races and had it all thrown away for him Sat. night.

he needs to go back to indy raceing i think he fits better there

[Jay]

He had it alright! he was running in 4th place before the caution and lined up 11th after his pit stop that went just a bit too slow, and Jeff Gordon screwed up three drivers in back of him! Montoya got the worst of that by far! If it weren't for sheer bad luck or maybe Jeff Gordon's mistake, Juan would have likely had another top 5 finish!

3rd place in the Chase until this past weekend having only driven a stock car 3 years? Only driver to have a top 5 finish the first 4 races of a Chase?

"clueless redneck Bob" is more like it.

Yeah jackass... where's your driver 88? Oh, yeah that's right NO WHERE. Is he in the chase... no. Is he even in the top 20...no. And after the interview he gave this weekend looks like your boy jr wants to quit, but we all know he quit earlier in the year.

Juan is an awesome driver and your just jelouse that Juan can drive different vehicles and your guy cant even drive the COT!!! HA!

Go JUAN!

I agree... I couldnt beleive it that Brian kept him out so long. Juan was on scanner wanting to come in... I can tell you next time Brian or no Brian .. juan will come in... I'm not counting him out yet and am not just throwing my hands up for JJ to win the championship... it aint over until the fat lady sings!

Jealous hissy fit ... the fat assed prick couldn't drive an F1 car to save his life, now mr Big is in nascar and he's won how many races again ... and my point exactly is there is no skill in this nascrap shite, if there are drivers going on for DECADES where is the skill level, I mean an old man is giving thee colombina drug lord a run for his money, how sad is that .... hey dumbass you need to be able to have some form of logic before you can think you are an analysist, so here's one for you to analyse, let's see how long it takes ... I'm not American, was not born here, have lived here for just 6 yrs, so your idea of me being anything remotely associated with trailer trash is so way off base it's actually quite funny ... but while we're on the subject of trailer trash ... how is you family doing ... you still making your own brothers and sisters... wonder who the inbred putz really is here ....

Obviously you are ignorant about the History of JPM & F1 - not that many complex words; here inform yourself...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Pablo_Monto ...

Legacy/Overtaking Ability
Andrew Benson, a Motorsports Editor for the BBC, wrote this about Montoya's Formula 1 legacy in 2006.
"His incredible skills at overtaking - to which he brings an improvisation, bravery, deftness and flair that has arguably never been seen before - are inseparable from his mercurial character. It is easy to forget that until Montoya's arrival in the sport in 2001, overtaking in modern F1 was considered so difficult as to be almost impossible.
That is still the case, but Montoya has been able to transcend the limits imposed on drivers by complex aerodynamics and shorter braking distances and pull off passing moves that can only be described as breathtaking. The fact that no-one else has been able to emulate him merely underlines his astonishing ability - he will probably be remembered as the best overtaker in F1's history.

Your ignorance of JPM's tenure in NASCAR is also apparent...

JPM's first 2 years in NASCAR, he was reduced to drving for a substandard team and crappy equipment.

JPM's goal this year was to make the Chase so his focus was on getting the points to accomplish this. Saving his best driving for the Chase - he wasn't going for wins during the regular season.

JPM is the only driver to ever have top 5 finishes the first 4 races in a Chase. He was well on his way to making this 5 races until he sustained damage on a restart in Charlotte.

JPM is a Colombian drug lord? Childish cliche - at best...

Mark Martin is giving ALL NASCAR drivers a run for their Money - not just JPM. BTW, I'm sure that "Old Man" has accomplished more in his life than you ever will. Unlike you, he doesn't have a hangup about his age and is living his dream. With your attitude and when you reach his age I expect you to be a fat unaccomplished loser that has nothing to offer the world. Oh wait!!

You aren't American - where you from putz? Obviously you are a putz AND a loser. Anybody around the Metro area that's making decent money or has money - doesn't live in Conyer's Ga.=)

[eVen it up]

oops

[mike also stutters]

pattie leftb him out there bacuse he has a brain in his head. pit under green with a car needing a big patch. you go down several laps - day all done. or the amazing juan stays out and can keep the car straight - i actually think he turned on purpose becuz he's a big baby - and just goes down 1 lap before getting a caution. then have tons of time to apply the patch and have a hope. pattie gave him a hope. the only hope they had. 43 crew chiefs would have done the same thing.
