Re: Villeneuve to attempt Cup debut next week at 'Dega
Franchitti and Speed ran the ARCA race today to get their feet wet in plate racing. JPM did the same last year, I believe. Villenueve shouldve done the same.
No doubt he and the other open-wheelers have the talent, but plate racing isnt like anything else theyve ever seen.
Get a few Truck, BGN, and/or ARCA plate races under your belt, then try it out with the Cup guys. And preferrably not in one of the Chase races. One slip-up can take out a bunch of cars, and possibly some guys running for the Championship.
I would rather he start out next week, but I guess we'll see what happens. Hopefully, if he even qualifies, he'll keep his nose clean. Otherwise, it could be ugly.
