Chip Ganassi, NASCAR team owner confirmed Montoya’s release on Sunday, and said he will begin a serious testing schedule for the Colombian driver without more ado.
On the other hand, Montoya is planning to test an ARCA car at Talladega, which could prepare him for the Oct. 6 race at the newly paved track.
Juan Montoya will get his first taste of stock car racing Monday at Talladega, Alabama and Chip Ganassi plans to run his open-wheel star in a few races before the 2006 season is over. “Yes, Juan has been set free,” “And we’re going to get with a pretty heavy testing schedule real quick starting with an ARCA car on Monday at Talladega.” said Ganassi last Saturday when asked if the 1999 CART champion had worked out his agreement issues with Team McLaren.
Montoya, who stunned the racing world July by announcing he was leaving F1 in exchange for NASCAR, was being blocked from changing careers until he settled his contract with McLaren, which was paying him throughout December.
