Juan Pablo Montoya will be competing in today's Sprint Cup race in Brooklyn, Michigan driving Team Penske's part-time #12 car along with Penske's two full-time drivers, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano. Montoya will start 28th in the 43-car field.
Montoya drove Chip Ganassi's #42 car from 2007 to 2013, and won two road course races, at Sonoma in 2007 and Watkins Glen in 2010. He never won an oval race, although he came close a few times. Montoya was released by Ganassi at the end of the 2013 season and was replaced by rookie Kyle Larson. He went back to IndyCar, where he won the Indianapolis 500 in 2000.
Now, Montoya wants to show that he still knows how to drive stock cars, even after going back to open-wheel racing. This makes it a top story heading into today's race.
