Juan Montoya made his way from the F1 series to the Nextel cup very fast. Many believe he isn’t cut out for this type of racing and should go back to the F1 series. Now he learn how to adapt to the different types of tracks and conditions the stockcars go through. He also used his skills of road course racing in F1, to win at Sears Point this year and also at the Mexico track in the Bush Series.

Now since he has merged into the sport many other drivers in other series are wondering if they can make it. Sam Hornish has been one of those drivers feeling the need to make a change for the best. He has struggled in the IRL series this year and is in need of a change. The first thing you would think is change crew people or even teams. He has been doing some racing in the ARCA and Busch Series for Penske Racing. Penske feels that Hornish’s current points standing could be the deciding fact into him making the move to Nascar. Hornish is currently fifth, 97 points out of first, with only seven races to go.

Danica Patrick has also been rumored that she might start trying to test cars in Nascar. In her third year she has yet won a race and has struggled to contend near the end of many of this years’ races. She is one of three female drivers in the IRL series and is the only one of those ladies to compete for wins. She is compatible of winning anytime, but hasn’t had the power or performance to get any. Some say that the IRL isn’t the place for her driving; it’s more for stockcars than open wheeled ones.

Many drivers will start to make the move from other racing leagues to earn more money and compete against the best but yet as they come they will have to adapt to the ever-changing Nascar. Teams will become greater as new owners start to form they’re own group of star class drivers and soon we might see Nascar increase the 43 car field to more or change the sport yet again.
