    Nobody said NASCAR was not hard, but it is pretty lame I think. As for Toyota having money and all, true. They should be doing good, IF they did a LOT of testing for a LONG time. Some teams in racing can jump in a race series and do well. It just takes time and learning. NASCAR and road racing are totally different driving styles which is probably why Montoya is not too hot. But for talent factor, nobody can say NASCAR is harder then road racing. I will never listen to that lol.

    not only different styles but the cars are so much different. they dont handle near as good as open wheel cars or other light race cars. a nascar car is very heavy and is no doubt a bear to turn in tight quarters. its more than just the style of racing that is contributing to montoya as well as others that have joined the sport and not done well.
