 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - It won't be hard for Juan Pablo Montoya to improve on last week's result at Michigan — all he has to do is avoid finishing last. Problem is, anything short of a victory might be considered a disappointment.
Montoya, who finished 43rd on Sunday for the worst showing of his short NASCAR career, heads to the road course in Sonoma, Calif., this weekend expected to score his first Nextel Cup victory.
The former Formula One star is regarded as one of the top road racers in the world, and solidified that reputation by winning the Busch Series road race in Mexico City earlier this season. But in Sonoma, he'll be racing against NASCAR's very best and a handful of ringers.
