Is Jacque related to Giles, a F1 racer from the ‘70’s? And oh, Montoya’s a punk. I’d stuff him into the wall every chance I got.

Harvick did stuff him in the wall at Michigan Tuesday but I think Montoya still finished better than Harvick. I remember Newman set him on fire (literally) last year after Montoya ran over him. He’s not making any friends but honestly I don’t think he’s a bit worse than Stewart and still better than nut cases like Robby Gordon.

Jacque is Giles son. He had a good couple of years in F1 with a car that no one could beat. He is a very aggressive driver who, in the right car, can do very well.

Unfortunately, when he got a chance with the BAR (essentially the last of the unlimited-tobacco-money funded teams) F1 team, he insisted on having his friend in charge of the team. They spent multi-millions, even by F1 standards, and produced lousy cars.

Jacque made a ton of money and a ton of enemies in F1 because of his haughty attitude.

I wouldn’t have him on my NASCAR team. He’s going to get punted into the wall a lot more than Montoya, whom I like.

Montoya is way out of his element in NASCAR and has a lot to learn about the subtle art - however, he’s a race car driver and a good one.
