LONG POND, Pa. -- Nearly a week after Juan Montoya lost a chance to make history by winning the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard to go with his 2000 win in the Indianapolis 500, he still didn't think he'd sped on pit road.

At least, on Friday morning at Pocono Raceway, he admitted there was no sense in worrying about the fact he was just over the 5 mile per hour allowance NASCAR gave atop its 55 mph speed limit at Indianapolis -- despite almost being badgered for a different response to four consecutive and virtually identical questions.

"For some reason they said we were speeding and that's what it is -- I've moved on and that's it," Montoya said. "I think there's times you've got to push but I think when you've got a 5-second lead with 30 laps to go you don't have to push it and I wasn't pushing it -- but it didn't change anything.

"Do I gain anything by wondering or saying or thinking, 'Was the [tachometer] right, was NASCAR right, was I wrong?' Who cares? I moved on -- can't change it. Even if they came to me today and said, 'You know what, we made a mistake' -- it wouldn't change anything. I've moved on. We had the fastest car by a mile there and it was nice to see."

Montoya had a 5-second lead over the field and had dominated the race when he violated the pit-road speed limit, NASCAR said, twice on his last pit stop. After a "pass-through penalty," he finished 11th.

A good cross-section of Montoya's competition said they were also comfortable with NASCAR's system, with Jeff Gordon offering the most succinct dismissal of last week's occurrence.

"The bottom line is that he was speeding," Gordon said. "To NASCAR's defense their system that they have, you can't dispute it. They'll show you exactly which zone [you sped in]. After the race you can go find it and I've not heard one person come back and say that, 'Well, they were absolutely wrong.' Once they show them everything I would dispute the person that feels like they were in the wrong because their system is very accurate.

"Now, they did have the problem at Memphis or wherever -- but I feel pretty confident in their system. But what I'm not confident in is our system. We have to be able to go and push the limits of that speed. I play it conservative and if my system breaks down I'm going to get caught speeding. If I play it too aggressively I'm probably going to get caught speeding. So it's still in our hands.
