March 4 (Mexico City) - Nascar Fantasy League
players better take note. No point in choosing
Scott Pruett or Boris Said for road courses any
longer - Juan Montoya has arrived and he's on a
different level. Montoya won the Busch race in
Mexico City today, becoming the first latino to win
a Nascar race. Frankly, that is not very impressive
or is it surprising. Great hispanic drivers are
nothing new; racing stock cars in America is.
