Juan Pablo Montoya to make NASCAR return with 23XI Racing at Watkins Glen

Montoya, 48, competed in the NASCAR Cup Series full-time from 2007 to 2013. He won two Cup races with Chip Ganassi Racing (Sonoma 2007 and Watkins Glen 2010) during his time in the sport. He collected 24 top-fives, 59 top-tens, and nine poles in 255 starts, and even won a NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Mexico City in 2007.

The Colombian racing driver finished as high as eighth in the Cup Series championship after making the playoffs in 2009. Now, he's back for more. He will drive the gold and black No. 50 23XI Racing Toyota Camry XSE with sponsorship from Mobil 1 at Watkins Glen International in September. The team, co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and 3x Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, has run the No. 50 in a limited schedule this year with a variety of drivers.
