But I believe he'd make good progress and do well (I hope, anyways. I've never been more excited to see a Nascar race, ever.). QUOTE Seems his release is all but done from Mclaren, just waiting on when to turn him loose on the Cup circuit. Looks like he may debut at Michigan in August. According to Ron Dennis, JPM is still under McLAren's contract till the end of F1 season this year...conflicts with $ponsors and what not...

I know many will say road courses suck for veiwing and ovals are better because of it....sure...but sometimes easy is not better.....I have hiked myself silly toting a beer cooler and food all over the hills of Sonoma and Monterey to get the PERFECT spot to watch a special turn and how the cars handle it....typically moving 3-4 times a race....it is a P.I.T.A......but WELL WORTH IT!
