Post by: cosworth151 on September 09, 2007, 07:30:38 AM

Juan Pablo MOntoya had a "hot time" at tonight's (8 Sept) NASCAR race at Richmond, Virginia. It shows one of the dangers of front engined race cars:

Luckily, he got away unharmed. He finished 41st of 43, finishing241 of the 400 laps. He is currently 20th in points and leading the "Rookie of the Year" by a wide margin.

Nobody can say that the NASCAR broadcst team don't have a fifm grasp of the obvious: "He needs to shut that car off and get out of it." :-[

They had it and many others on their site within an hour or so after the race. And all free. Amazing, isn't it.
