Juan Pablo Montoya RETURNS | Andretti Teases New NASCAR Team

[@BlueJimmie48Fan]

Andretti: gets denied by F1 NASCAR: *quick, start preparing the welcome gift basket!*

[@WilliamM-h9e]

pandering .. chicago,, LA. bubba.. dan swarez Daytona in July.. what happened to that,, they dont want to be known anymore as down home American .. no good drivers around the country working there guts out to get there they have to bring in people from other continents .. fucking libtard woke joke of what it once was..

[@Waddle_Dee_With_Internet]

F1 is a great helper to make NASCAR getting more views 🥰

@BlueJimmie48Fan except that the rumours for Michael Andretti joining NASCAR as a team owner began in 2013. Which was not yesterday by any account 🤔

Yes

[@YazzanFaroukVlogs]

Montoya has almost completed motorsports at this point, he's won in F1, Indycar, Nascar, Sportscars, Le Mans (if you count his LMP2 Pro-Am overall win in 2021), when you think about it, it's insane!

[@stew9168]

I don’t think people realize how good of a driver he really was.

[@haiderman]

As a Colombian NASCAR fan, I'm so so happy to see JPM at 23XII, hope he get a great result at the Glen.

[@bonesdoes6142]

It’s nice to see Juan come back in a competitive car. Dudes obviously very talented. He’s still got it,and he’s not afraid to be aggressive.

[@Mistermatt1984]

Aggressive on the caution laps for sure!

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

He's got it, he's not afraid to be aggressive? Really, you've seen him in a Nascar race lately?

[@Pigeongamer_]

Off topic but I was watching some of Eric's old videos from 2-3 years ago and I'm really impressed how much he's taken care of himself recently. He looks a lot healthier and happier. I'm happy for him!

[@aarontalksculture4946]

Yeah I think many people forget or overlook that Montoya is a CART champion, IMSA champion, 2X Indy 500 champion, Cup and Xfinity winner, F1 winner. Literally all he does is win in any series on planet Earth. The dude is a living legend.

[@Skyvernius]

He is basically Kyle Larson before Kyle Larson

[@Hunter36-m9u]

Larson hasn’t won an Indy 500, F1 race, or and Indy championship.

[@RazorSharp75426]

Personally I just cannot comprehend why in hell people would overlook JPM's far and wide achievement. I think Montoya should be remembered as one of the Ironmen of Motorsports, ability to win in multiple discipline like that is rare.

[@jamesfew1205]

Still a massive tool though

[@Mr.X2188]

Yeah, he is lowkey the best drivers of this generation. He has 2/3 of the legs of the Triple Crown, and has had success in Indycar, F1, Nascar, and Sports car racing. He is an incredible driver and one of the best of this era.

[@SpaceAce.3]

Your buddy David Land said Andretti is switching to Chevy with their indycar program so that all the series they will race will be with GM. Makes a lot sense. I’m guessing 2025 will be Andretti global entry to the 2025 Daytona 500.

[@dianeadkins-diorio1783]

I still think Andretti will hook up with Spire whenever he does expand into NASCAR; Gainbridge, a major sponsor on Spire's 7 car, is a major Andretti sponsor and is helping fuel Spire's growth from the single-car team they began life as to the three-car team (plus three trucks) they are today...

[@aaronmachado13]

I’m a massive fan of JPM so I’m so hyped to see him back. That said the fact Trackhouse has had a F1 champion with Kimi Raikkonen and an Aussie Supercar legend in SVG as part time cup drivers. Than you go to 23XI Racing who got an Xgames Gold medalist in Travis Pastrana, 24 hours of LeMan race winner of Kamui Kobayashi, now a Indy500 champion and NASCAR Cup series race winner of Juan Pablo Montoya and next year having 2017 NASCAR Cup series champion of MTJ. Trackhouse and 23XI have brought some INSANE drivers into their fold as part time drivers

[@mikesowell7969]

Juan Pablo Montoya: one of the greatest drivers to ever live on this planet… coming back to nascar! Not gonna lie. I was kinda hoping he would run the brickyard one more time to avenge his heartbreaking loss from 2009… but hey… you can’t go wrong with Watkins Glen either… especially since he’s a born road racer.

Adding the name Andretti to NASCAR is fantastic. I hope they do well.

I fully expect Spire Andretti to become a tier 1 Chevy team and be to HMS what RFM and 23XI are to Penske and JGR.

[@afafalcon7]

Juan certainly is a “blast” from the past

[@terrigoggin4443]

Exciting news! Thanks Eric. Bring on the new teams!!!’

[@ChristopherWHerbert]

Sheldon Creed signed with JGR and left RCR. He did not get the boot from RCR. It was Creed who left RCR on his own accord, to take his family money to JGR. So why would anyone say Creed got the boot, when it was indeed Creed who was doing the booting. it is like Kurt Busch being 'fired' from Roush Racing. When Ku Busch already had a contract signed with Penske to race there the following year, before he was stood down for the final race of the season at Roush. As much as Montoya had won the Indy 500 before he went to Formula One and won at Monaco and other F1 races, before coming to NASCAR. Yet some compare Montoya as if he came to NASCAR as an inexperienced driver on Ovals. (after he had won at Indy long before NASCAR was even an option)

[@Man_in_BLKtruck1991]

David Land said it best, its more likely that Andretti would switch to Chevy in Indycar, they’ll be with Cadillac in IMSA, hopefully will be with them in F1, and are already tied to Chevy with Spire. Honda’s foggy future with Indy could push Andretti to switch anyway. Plus it’s a huge “IF” to say Honda is going to actually join NASCAR especially because they’ve already told NASCAR they won’t join unless NASCAR changes engine rules.

WTR w Andretti is switching from Acura to Caddie and Andretti is supossedly switching from Honda to Chevy as early as 2025 if not in 2026 so I doubt that Andretti will be bringing Honda to Nascar. Andretti to Nascar seems logical Iand it seems like Andretti can buy into Spire or start a new team and have an alliance with Spire and run Chevys . I do hope Andretti will be allowed to enter F1 in the near future . On another note I want to see Trackhouse start an xfinity team as well as a nascar truck series team

[@clockbooooks]

Here’s my take on Creed. Is he good? Yes. Is he able to be around at the end? Yes. He’s got a ton of speed some weeks and the others he’s just bad. Not to mention the multiple occasions this year where he turned into a meathead with 5 to go and took an at least top 2 into a 10. Remember the JHN incident that creed said was Nemecheks fault? I used to like Creed, but this year in particular and made me start to think “Maybe Creed played a roll in why RCR treated him so bad.” He’s got a lot of talent I feel, but is an idiot when it comes to the end. I understand being aggressive at the end, but there’s a difference between aggressiveness and stupidity, Creed doesn’t know where that line is

Andretti is rumored to be changing engine manufacturers from Honda to Chevrolet in 2026. Andretti is already affiliated, and hold stock within Spire through Gaindridge, and 1001, its already a done deal, they are just waiting on the engine manufacturer swap before things move forward.

I know that Honda and Andretti do work together in Indycar but it seems that relationships will come to an end soon. Andretti has been working closer and closer with GM in multiple other motorsports and it even seems that they could switch to Chevy in Indy within a year or two. I expect for spire and Andretti to join forces and stay a Chevy team buying Hendrick data.

Honda won't be part of an Andretti deal. They're strengthening their GM ties in all categories; their F1 engine is a Cadillac, they're probably going to be the replacement for Ganassi in the Cadillac LMDh program, and they're considering switching to Chevy in Indycar.

[@nascarnational]

um.. you should've watched david land's video from yesterday about the issue. he says that there are rumors in the indycar paddock about andretti leaving honda due to strengthening ties with gm. this is linked to an imsa rumor that andretti will partner with cadillac in imsa next season, and of course the already DEEP relationship cadillac & andretti global have in f1 that you can mull over on youtube for hours on end. i think the honda suggestion is dumb, it's just an unnecessary tying the knot thing imo. if andretti commits to nascar they'll do it with gm, through & through, no questions asked. - *also, if liberty media & f1 corporate actually do budge to andretti somehow whilst they join nascar, they'll have teams in: -formula 1 -indycar -nascar -imsa -wec (if they do le mans i believe) -formula e -v8 supercars the only other team i can think of with that kind of influence in motorsport is penske. getting into f1 & nascar will be ENORMOUS for everyone, if the team pulls it off
