Default Re: Villeneuve to attempt Cup debut next week at 'Dega

Whay a dumb idea. At the peak of the Championship run they let a rookie with 1 truck race in to Dega...NASCAR has lost it.

Nascar knows exactly what they are doing-just like this time last year with JPM during the chase.Seeding the field with international(and highly successful)drivers allows them to postion,promote,and cross market to a worldwide motorsports fan base.He might be a cup rookie,but you don't win IRL and F1 championships with reckless abandon.Very cerebral driver who will keep his nose clean.He's simply following a money trail that has become quite fashionable-would not be surprized at all to see 20% of the field non american born in a couple of years.

Don't be hatin!
