Juan Montoya's visit to Kansas Speedway will be his final trip to a track unknown. It is the only track left on the 2007 NASCAR schedule that Montoya has yet to compete. The 1.5-mile speedway is considered by many similar to Chicagoland Speedway where he and the Texaco/Havoline team started 30th and finished 15th in July.
The 42 team led by crew chief Donnie Wingo has seen success at Kansas Speedway, however. Last season the No. 42 Dodge team finished second in Kansas. Since the No. 42 team's inception in 2003, Wingo and the crew have amassed three top-10 finishes and one top-five finish in just four starts at the track.
Montoya's 10th-place run at Dover International Speedway moved him up one position in the Nextel Cup season from 20th to 19th. Montoya and the Texaco/Havoline team have earned three outside-poles, one win, two-top five and five top-10 finishes this season.
Montoya earned his 12th rookie of the race honor last weekend at Dover and increased his points lead over David Ragan in the standings to 15 (222-207) with eight races remaining.
The 42 team is bringing chassis 706 to Kansas this weekend. The team has utilized this chassis five times this season earning two of its four top-10 finishes. Chassis 706 has run at Texas (eighth-place finish), Atlanta (fifth), Pocono (20th), Chicagoland (15th) and Michigan (26th).
In celebration of Texaco's 20th anniversary in sponsoring stock-car racing and a successful season for Montoya, Chevron Products Company introduced its special limited edition gift card carrying the image of the No. 42 Texaco/Havoline race car and Montoya. The Texaco/Havoline branded gift cards are now available for purchase in denominations up to $100 at participating Texaco stations or online at www.texaco.com.
Montoya and the team is featured weekly on Sirius Satellite Radio's Driver2Crew Chatter, which puts fans in the car and in the pits. Fans can listen to Montoya's radio communication with Wingo, spotter Tab Boyd and the rest of the Team on channel 119.
Listen in every Monday at 5 p.m. ET on channel 128 for the Juan Pablo Montoya Report. Montoya provides exclusive updates on the No. 42 team, gives post-race downloads and shares his own personal experiences on his jump full time into the Nextel Cup Series.
