I would imagine Dario would have the same kind of start that Juan Pablo has had in his first year. I figure he'll finish in the top 20 to 25 in points next year and probably have a few good showings along the way.

Unless they get into a ride at a better team than JPM, neither Jacques or Dario will do much better than JPM. Dario had a reputation for being a more even keeled driver (sort of like Jeff Gordon without the success) so that may continue. People should really watch out for Jacques though, he always had a reputation for being a "bad boy" in F1 while Juan was never considered a bad guy until nascar. I think Juan's image is all hype he isn't any worse than Dale sr or other nascar drivers.

Dario will probably have some of the same problems JPM has had, atleast he won't have the awful upside down flips that he has had this yr in IRL, I still do not see how he was not injured in those 2 crashes...I think Jacques Villeneuve will be more competition for JPM,its going to be wild watching these two go at it... It will make Harvick and Montoya at Watkins Glen seem like nothing happened.. If Juan and Jacques get into it, we might see a real fight..

surely i think of Juan Pablo Montoya is a much greater ideal driving force then Franchitti. He (JPM) grew to become right into a champion at formula a million, gained the 24 hours at Daytona, the North united states of america of america open-wheel CART identify, Monaco grand Prix winner... In end, nonetheless i do in contrast to Juan Pablo Montoya, he's a much greater ideal driving force then Franchitti.

Dario will probably pick up where he left off in CART, doing pretty good, but still behind JPM. Jacques would be more of a threat if he weren't in Bill Davis equipment .
Other former IRL drivers in NASCAR include Tony Stewart, Robby Gordon, and JJ Yeley.

Just the beginning of foriegners invading our sport. I dont like INDY any mor because there are so many foriegners running in it. I hope NASCAR doesnt go the same way.

There's only one way to find out. Thought it was interesting that Hornisch couldn't get qualified today.
