While Formula 1 and NASCAR are 2 of the biggest motorsports in the world, it’s not so common to see the 2 worlds collide as often. However, there is one driver that stands out.

Of course, we are talking about Juan Pablo Montoya, a Formula 1 driver who came off as very promising at the start. In fact, Montoya finished 6th only in his first season in F1, beating the likes of Raikkonen. On top of that, he stepped on the podium on many occasions, driving for William. However, the tables turned when Juan Pablo Montoya took a switch over to NASCAR, driving full time for Chip Ganassi Racing from 2006.
