How Good was Juan Pablo Montoya?
NASCAR 2021
i will die on a hill and stand by this Montoya was the greatest unappreciated drivers ever!
Montoya was a very talented open wheel driver. Whether it be in F1 or Indycar he consistently ran up front and won races. He was one of the most talented open wheel drivers ever. And he was part of the open wheel drivers to NASCAR craze in the late 2000’s. He was great on road courses as to be expected. When it came to everything else though he was very lackluster. He consistently got outran by his teammate Jamie McMurray on most race weekends. Certainly one of the best open wheel drivers who couldn’t transfer that talent over to NASCAR.
I actually think Montoya made the transition over to stock cars pretty well. And he came close of winning so many races which he ultimately didn’t win.. Talladega 2008 (fall), Brickyard 400 in 09 & 10, NHMS 2009, Atlanta 2010, Pocono 2010, Richmond 2013 and Dover 2013.
@@patrickanderson9023 Quite impressive considering the equipment.
I watched your Danica Patrick video and at the end of it I thought "Yeah, but what about Juan Pablo Montoya?" and joy of joy's you'd already done a video on him! Awesome.
JPM is underappreciated for sure. its sad his nascar career is resulted in meme-ry with his crash at daytona that wasn't of his own doing. What he was able to do with that team and car in the cup series is still impressive.
Un piloto extraordinario sin dudas uno de los mas grandes pilotos de toda la historia¡¡¡¡ por lo todo lo que ha logrado ahora tendra un lugar en el salon de la fama de Indianapolis¡¡¡¡
It's a shame this guy's legacy in NASCAR is going to be best remembered as hitting the jet dryer. Montoya and Robby Gordon are imo two of the most underrated drivers in terms of their ability to get into anything with a motor and be competitive in it. Robby's problem was all mental, he constantly got into his own head and beat himself.
He need to win Le Mans 24
I've always thought that JPM was one of the best all-around drivers ever. I'm talking on the level with the likes of Foyt and Andretti. What I took issue with was the overhype that followed him in the NASCAR Cup Series. On road courses it was pretty much a no-brainer he'd be up front and winning races, or at least contending. On ovals he didn't have the racecraft, I'm sorry to those who disagree.
Oval racing is, for obvious reasons, a different beast than "course" racing. And therefore the way you race an oval is different than the way you race a course. JPM has always had an aggressive style of driving, and it's served him well over the years, especially in anything open-wheeled. But on an oval, the closing speed is different than on a course.
Getting a great exit on a road course can net you almost 3-5 tenths of a second, setting you up to make a strong move for position down the next straight or into the next corner. A great exit on an oval MIGHT net you 1 tenth. And the next corner is so close, that advantage can easily be lost.
This usually carried over into road course racing in NASCAR, with even aggressive drivers biding their time to make a move (well... except for Robby Gordon). AJ Almendinger is a prime example of how to race both types of track in NASCAR, with multiple wins on ovals AND road courses. Juan just... didn't have the patience.
Again, one of the greatest race drivers I've ever had the privilege of watching. But a mediocre-at-best NASCAR entry. Although he did take Ganassi equipment and push it further than most mediocre drivers would be able to. Because he's JPM, one of the greatest race drivers ever.
Surprised you didn't mention that in 2009 Montoya made the Chase and finished 8th in points.
He was EXTREMELY consistent that year. I feel like it is very underrated imo.
@@Austin_Windric Agreed
@@Austin_Windric yes
Especially given it was right after the Ganassi DEI merger and one car didn't make it past round 9 and truex didn't even finish in the top 20
I think he's one of the best racecar drivers of all-time. No matter what it was, he won with it. Same goes for Robby Gordon and Mario Andretti. Montoya should've had a couple of oval wins in NASCAR too but he choked them away.
Andretti comparison is a little bit of a stretch but not too far tbh. The man won in pretty much everything he ever raced. Still was killin it in imsa as an "old man" lol. And hes coming back to imsa next year with dragonspeed. Hell he beat guys like schumacher, raikkonen and alonso in their prime in f1. He should be much more revered imo.
Some Pablo Montoya should have two more wins to his Nascar cup career
Mainly because he was the class of the field at Indy for two straight years
No one could touch that man don't want to get close enough to touch that man
You seemed like something always went wrong there's probably a random race that he should have won that he didn't other than them to Indy races
I really can't speak to his career in other Motorsports I didn't I didn't really get the watching much when I was younger
He is extremely talented and he can still will race car
Unpopular opinion put him in a hendrick or shr car and he would have more than 2 wins and maybe even a championship considering his equipment he outperformed all the time
Why unpopular? Only cause bunch of diehard native Nascar fanatics were more fond of traditional names of the series and they looked at him with no half ways, prejudice/excessive expectations due to his pedigree. Ganassi is known to excel and have a tradition as CART/indycar team (I also remember the wins at 24 hours of Daytona), but never had a strong package in NASCAR (I followed those years, I dunno these days how it goes).
I remember one year Juan was in the Chase (can't remember if it was 2008 or 2009).
The worst year was 2013 and as far as I can remember he had some changes in team personnel that didn't work. However in his stint he took two wins (Sonoma, Watkins Glen), marked some poles and had several top 5/10 finishes.
Those years Hornish, Jacques Villeneuve, Dario Franchitti, Danica Patrick (whatever your opinion of her as a driver) tried the transition from open wheel formulas to such a specific series with a close field and showed how it wasn't easy.
@@leonardofabbri7930 the man is no doubt one of the greatest overall drivers of all time he is in my opinion up with Andretti and Unser on people who win in whatever he drives and no doubt one of the most successful open wheel guys to switch to nascar but the lack of equipment from ganassi hurt him I still believe from reaching full potential as a NASCAR driver and 2013 the biggest thing I remember from him that’s season is the Dover race he should have won
"Give them JUAN at a time!"
i will never understand y chip didnt add a car for montoya in indycar in 2007. Imagine a team
9-Dixon
10-Weldon/Dario
42-Montoya
Imagine that super super team
Montoya did not want to come back to indy car.
Nice vid
Great video I like him too because he was f1 to nascar
Montoya definitely could have been much more successful if he came to Nascar sooner, and had better equipment.
When he show up in F1, he embarasses everbody else. This guy is a straight and pure legendary goat caliber.
Easily the best race car driver of this era he’s won in every series he’s raced in
Best race car driver of his era? Not even close.
I mean guys like Schumacher, Hakkinen, Alonso, Raikkonen in F1, and NASCAR drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Smoke, JJ etc were all far better than what Montoya ever was in either F1 or NASCAR. However, Montoya is probably the best/most talented Indycar driver of the last 20-25 years or so. It was in where he truly made his mark.
But i can agree that his career overall is pretty impressive, he has certainly proved himself to be a very versatile race car driver.
@@patrickanderson9023 ok where are Jeff and Stewart’s indycar 500 wins and f1 wins??? Montoya has won in every Motorsport he’s driven for 💀💀💀 I mean he’s atleast the best and in this generation
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not as good as these videos though 📈🔥
Can you make how good was Robby Gordon pls
ha what a joke
@@rftsfan1479 why a joke ? He won in NASCAR, Indycar, IMSA, Dakar, Baja 1000, Baja 500 and other thing
In My Opinion , Juan Pablo Montoya Was A Decent Driver To Say The Least , Sure He Wasn't A Championship Caliber Driver , But
For The Equipment He Was Running With , He Did Pretty Good , Unfortunately Jamie Mc. Outrun Ran Him For JPM's Last 4 Years In CGR's 42 Car. (Also BTW 2009 Was JPM's Best Season In NASCAR)
Nah. Montoya was a great driver, of course. But he has never been the «complete package», Montoya has always been a very aggressive and a inconsistent driver.
2 words , Jet Dryer
There ain't nobody, NOBODY I tell ya, that can destroy a jet drier like ol' Juan Pablo could.
Wow so original and funny🙄🥱
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT I thought the accent would give it something :(
@@ElTurbinado I just hate the “jet dryer” joke on general. It’s not you. It’s just the fact that people still joke about it for almost 10 years is not only old, but it’s just stupid. It’s sad that it took one broken part of his car and remember him for that reason only
@UCuKvJ0Cn7xUMi8eGbjU4Now oh yeah, I’m the bad guy here, of course. I’m always the bad guy to the NASCAR fandom. It’s stupid that dumb NASCAR fans remember him for that particular reason and no one else. It’s stupid. And the jokes were NEVER funny to begin with. But no, apparently I’m the bad guy for being honest? Whatever. This isn’t about “handling anything”. The “jokes” got old really quick and they were never funny, never original, it’s just dumb
@IanPerez48 are you saying... you don't want to hear juan more joke about jet driers?
well, steel yourself cause it's a video about juan pablo montoya so i guarantee this is just the beginning. there's gonna be way more jet fuel on that fire bwahahaha!
Pero amigo Juan Pablo Montoya es mejor que la f1 en vez de la nascar no hay que sentirse mal de la f1
The only Nascar driver I know to manage to hit a Jet Dryer.
only takes juan!
Hahahahhahaha how funny and original🙄🥱
Dillon Bassett hit a sweeper… close enough
Is it this joke getting quite old now? It was the suspension which broke on the 42 car, causing Montoya to get loose.
@@patrickanderson9023 its so unlucky that his suspension broke, too.
i mean, the chances of that happening have got to be like, i dunno... juan in 42.
Obviously talented, tho not great in a stock car. There's many guys who win other places but can't "get it" in a stock car. He's high on the list of anyone that has come from another series. Also worth noting he's vindictive and extremely petty. Wrecking guys intentionally, costing them championships on more than one occasion. So as a sports car racing fan I don't think much of him, but the talent can't be denied.
Stopped watching at poois shamilton
In nascar he was good at crashing, getting in the way, and pissing people off!!
1st
get you cancelled? Speak English please, not phone speak.
Jet dryer
Good ole jet dryer montoya! 😂
