IRL hardly makes him a word champion, they only race in North America and one race in Japan iirc.
Oh and IRL & CCWS are both as bad as each other tbh

Franchitti is going to go to NASCAR next year. I think he'll be on the same team as Montoya.

Lots of open wheel guys moving to the NASCAR soon, or already there. Montoya already there, Patrick Carpentier ran a few races so far this season, A.J. Allmendinger is there but struggling, Jacques Villeneuve, Sam Hornish also rumoured to join next season.

Best nickname in motor racing was given to Franchitti when he first entered the US race scene:
Dario Speedwagon
(REO Speedwagon, geddit? I thought it was funny...  ) Suspect the schoolboys won't get it though.

Such a big big business now, NASCAR is.

| I remember a few yars back when Montoya was the hottest property in motorsport and had a superb fight with Dario for the Indycar world championship i think. :thup: Superb stuff.

Indeed. They finished that season on equal points, and JPM won it on victory countbacks. Great season.

He has a lovely house near Dollar in Stirlingshire. I was helping a mate who was working there and met the Franchitti's, nice couple, very down to earth and offered me a cup of coffee and a choccy biscuit  | |
