I enjoyed watching yesterdays Busch Race. I have to say though, ESPNs coverage should of had a caption @ the bottom of the screen saying "PabloVision". They could have covered a few of the other drivers atleast once! On the other hand though, Congrats to Juan Pablo on getting his first NASCAR Busch Series victory. He ran one damn good race, and deserved to win it! When he had the fuel problem I was like, Damn this cat is having some BAD LUCK @ the start of this season! But, He overcame it and came back to win the race. What a race it was! I was hollering for him as he drove through the field after the restart. It was some amazing driving. He got a little over-aggressive when he got to Pruett but that was just a racing incident I think. Not saying it wasn't Juan Pablos fault, but it wasn't on purpose!
Oh, And by the way....
I love the "what if" answer above! You can tell who does, and doesn't want Juan Pablo to succeed in NASCAR.

i see there is quite a few idiots answering this question. You know, road courses show you who the REAL drivers are. What is the appeal of just turning left 500 times? nothing. I think its funny that an F1 driver comes over here, with very little seat time in a closed whell car, and wins. So do you stupid people that say Nascar has the best drivers in the world still feel that way? Montoya was not even the best F1 had to offer. Not even close. The only reason he came to nascar in the first place was because of money. He had a terrible season in F1, and opted out of his contract. He could have easlily gone to IRL, and champ car. But, he went for more money racing those bogus cup cars. Despite what all of you brain dead hillbilly nascar fans think, it takes WAY more skill to drive F1. There is a reason why it is considered the top of all motorsports. But, because they dont crash into each other, and there isint a budweiser car, 99.9 % of us americans are not interested. Kind of sad if you ask me. It just goes to show you, us americans are WAY behind in racing IQ. Well, at least nascar fans are.

I watched the race.I was impressed by the way he overcame pit problems and still went to the front.I'm disappointed that the nascar fans don't know enough about road racing to know there was nothing wrong with the way he passed PRUET.It was actually gratifying to watch a real PRO on the road course.Have you noticed the nascar fans on here?It seems its OK for the GOOD OL BOYS to put people in the wall at high speed tracks(DALE SR. MADE A LIVING putting people in the wall) but its not OK for a FERNER to make a "TEXTBOOK" pass on a road course.I don't know why they're mad-it was Scott Pruett.They hate true roadracers,and he is what the nascar fans call a RINGER.I guess we'll have to wait till this weekend .The NASCAR NOW guys will tell them it's OK.They just have to have someone 'splain it to them.Once "Rusty" says it's good hard racin ,they can go back to HATING him for being a "GOL DURN FURNER"

I hope he didn't show what he as about. He was stupid in that race. And I don't think he's stupid.
He could have waited, sized the situation up, and pulled off a beautiful and clean pass. No problem for a driver of his talent with what was clearly a superior car. He had plenty of time.
Instead he looked like an amateur and cost his team a well deserved 1-2 finish.
He owes Pruett one. After reviewing the tape, Chip Gnassi should make it clear that what he did was absolutely unacceptable. And dumb.

He was an OK F1 driver. But even the worst F1 driver will excel in NASCAR, as proven by Montoya. Compared to F1, it takes little skill to drive a stock car well.
Putting a skilled driver like Montoya in NASCAR is like drafting Derek Jeter for your little league team.

Montoya is a great driver no doubt about it. For those who talk trash about the oval versus the street race i will tell them that any nascar driver will tell you it is harder to race on street then in the oval. most important coming back from 19th to win while having to pass drivers in S's THAT is racing.

i thought he ran a good race and did not take pruett who is not a full time teammate to him anyway out intentional it was just a racing deal that was unfortunate and to the folks saying it was dirty and low down well dale earnhardt use to do it all the time and people seemed to think that was fine so whats the difference in this case he just did what dale would have done

To be honest with you, I didn't watch it. That's not an exciting race track to watch for me, and I'm not sure why. But I will be at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in less than two weeks. Go Tony Stewart!!!

The real test will be when he races against Stewart and Gordon in the Nextel road races.
