Jacques Villeneuve joins NASCAR

Jacques Villeneuve is about to take his first step towards a new career in the world of NASCAR racing. The 1997 world champion, who lost his BMW-Sauber seat last year, is scheduled to test a Toyota pick-up truck in Chicago on Monday for the team Bill Davis Racing, according to American media.

Featuring modified pickups, the Craftsman Truck Series is regarded as the lowest category of NASCAR racing, beneath the Busch and Nextel Cup divisions.

From top of the racing world to driving a pickup around a track somewhere in the woods of North Carolina. What's that song? " Catch me now I'm Falling"

How many other drivers can have won CART and F-1 championships and an Indy 500? I love the way people with no accomplishments in the world bash people here.

BTW We all know that Lexus will someday build a car that won't even need a driver to win a championship. ROBOTSDRIVE is coming to an IS-F near you.......

Idiot Lexus lover. Jacques was great and I like anyone that wins a championship for Sir Frank and after that he seemed to have a chip on his shoulder as stated by bimmermike2. Idiot Lexus lover stay on the topic.

If people could only comment that have accomplished championships within a given sport, there would be no commentators, no sportswriters, just silence when you watched a race or sporting event. I will always remember that the best hitting coach ever was Charlie Lau. He told George Brett and look at his career. But Charlie Lau was a career .220 hitter in the Major Leagues. So your comment is without accomplishment so you should not be allowed to comment any further.
