not race like he has been?? Just like tonight! He's a rookie and thinks he can drive like all of the other "seasoned" drivers.....making stupid "rookie" mistakes. And yes, I know he's an experienced open-wheeled driver! But this is Nascar.....what's he thinking?

As I implied in my question a few minutes ago... I think he's nothing more than a hazard. I doubt we'll see him after this season. How many more enemies can he possibly make???

The problem is that Juan doesn't know how to race any other way. He has no concerns about wheel-banging someone to get past them, regardless if it puts him and/or the other guy in the wall.
I was impressed with him at first in F1, but after a rough spell where he didn't have a decent car he drove like a desperate man. I never thought he'd make the grade in NNC, and so far, my opinion hasn't changed a bit. The only thing that surprises me is that he hasn't started bleating about the team in interviews yet.

I agree with you. Juan Puablo makes to many mistakes and takes out to many drivers. I think the other drivers will only let him to do that for so long before someone shows him what happens when you drive the way he does.

Can anyone even tell me where they found this guy?! Seriously---the man may be able to drive open wheel, but the cars on this circuit are completly different and to let him jump into a Cup car, not even going through the Busch series a year....someone was not thinking straight. He is a hazard to those around him, and doesn't seem to making friends.
And to compare him to Dale Earnhardt Sr is bringing the Earnhardt name down. Even Tereasa has more knowledge than Juan does!

He's an accident waiting to happen and the first lap is as long as he wanted to wait.Juan needs to respect other drivers and I'm sure they will not so gently let him know that.Hey the guy was willing to dump his own teammate in Mexico no one is safe.By the way could Kenny Wallace drive any slower during the first race so afraid of getting in trouble so the fan vote wouldnt count.Thats not racing.

#42 Juan Pabualo is an "agressive" driver and to me is a "Wreck waiting to happen"...he needs to go back to Formula 1 and get out of NASCAR.

I agree, he needs to learn the moves in NASCAR racing, like drafting and not getting in the way of the other racers. Move down on the inside of the track and not up top when they r trying to pass him, when he is a lap down. Going to make some one reck that way.

I think he wants to win a race and is trying what he thinks are the best moves on the track. He is a good driver, maybe he hasn't made the best choices, but he will be winning races before you know it.
Not as many as my main man Jeff Gordon though !! Go #24

His style of driving will get him put into the wall.
He may have been a hotshot in the open wheel world but full body is another animal and he has not got a hold on ityet.

He does need to change how he drives. He is a rookie like you said. He just needs to adjust.

In a Racing division that is more about the DRIVER and less about the CAR, this aint the place for him !
