The moments that defined Juan Pablo Montoya’s NASCAR career

Juan Pablo Montoya is one of the most versatile race car drivers on the planet. His illustrious career includes seven Formula 1 wins, reaching the top podium step with both Williams and McLaren. He also scored 30 podiums and 13 poles in just 94 starts, and finished as high as third in the World Championship. Beyond F1, he's a two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, winning as a rookie, and then again 15 years later. He also clinched the 1999 CART title.

The resume goes on in sports car racing as a three-time overall winner of the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona (2007, 2008, 2013). He won the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Series championship outright in 2019 with Team Penske. JPM has even been on the podium for Le Mans and won the Race of Champions. So yeah, it's easy to say he's pretty good. Then there's his NASCAR stint, where he won two Cup races in 255 starts, collecting 24 top-fives, 59 top-tens, and nine poles.
