The Car of Tomorrow wasn't the biggest challenge awaiting Juan Montoya at Bristol Motor Speedway. It was the track itself, the .533-mile Tennessee bullring that makes mince meat out of stock cars.
"We go to Bristol, that's going to be a nightmare," Montoya admitted.
He started 36th and finished 32nd -- seven laps down, which was Montoya's worst showing of the season.
Montoya can be heard on Sirius Speedway (3-7 p.m. ET Mondays) with Dave Moody on Sirius channel 128, and NASCAR.COM will track Montoya's first full Cup season:
