Wonder if we could get Quixote to spin Kyle Busch out?Don Quixote also Spanish.
I'm actually serious about this weekend. Hell when Janet Guthrie missed the show at Indy they got her in the 600. Chip, make it happen Bud.In all seriousness, I'd love to see him run the Roval or the other road courses. Same with Jordan Taylor.
Hes a race car driver, if Guthrie can do it so can he.I think Alonso would want to take time get used to the car before jumping in cold for a Cup race. Other open wheel drivers tried the lower series first (and open wheel drivers don't have a good record in NASCAR).
I was thinking about how RF could help Fernando with this. Giving him a good ole boy nick name, or Bobby Ray Hall (Bobby Rahal) ing seems like a nobel cause to me.
"Fern Anna" would work for a girl, but l aint got nothing for Fernando.

"Donkey Schott" maybeDon Quixote also Spanish.
Oh I know its a pipe dream and he probably would be too apprehensive to come in blind. Race car drivers have egos and to look like a rookie wouldn't sit well. People out there clucking at him and stuff.Would be a tough deal for Alonzo imo. The 500 is loaded with a lot of practice time in cars that have a lot more in common with his experience. Getting into a full bodied cup car with only a few hours of practice would be tough, or not enough prep.
What Guthrie did was great but it was more of an attrition battle then. Keeping the car clean and not breaking would get you a respectable finish.
Getting a get a good finish in Sundays race will be a lot more demanding, most cars will finish and race hard for the full 600 miles.
A one and done that would not really represent his talent or skills very well, imo.
I agree that Alonso can drive anything. But there is difference in eras when Guthrie did it and now, I don't think he can jump into any race car and be competitive without practice with the car and actually running it in traffic (open wheel drivers probably have a hard time learning about bumping and banging the cars).Hes a race car driver, if Guthrie can do it so can he.
Montoya sure didn't.(open wheel drivers probably have a hard time learning about bumping and banging the cars).

Sadly the day when drivers from other series would show up at a big Cup race seems to be over. I remember years back how exciting it was to see who had entered the Daytona 500. Not anymore. I think the last one I really got excited about was Al Unser in the 46. That was right around Gordon's first year.Quick, someone get him a ride for the 600.
You are right...for some reason Montoya had the attitude he was head and shoulders above other NASCAR drivers.Montoya sure didn't.
Montoya showed up with his helmet carrier valet I don't think it lasted too long but damn.You are right...for some reason Montoya had the attitude he was head and shoulders above other NASCAR drivers.
real race car drivers enter real car races where the the cars are hard to drive and u have to lift going into a corner.Hes a race car driver, if Guthrie can do it so can he.
Where are you racing this weekend?real race car drivers enter real car races where the the cars are hard to drive and u have to lift going into a corner.
Montoya was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is a superstar driver.You are right...for some reason Montoya had the attitude he was head and shoulders above other NASCAR drivers.
I’d wager he’d still be kicking ass in Indy Car if The Captain didn’t move him over to IMSA. Most bad ass CART/Indy Car driver I’ve ever seen.Montoya was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is a superstar driver.
