Better than winning the Indy 500

Juan Pablo Montoya has won some of the biggest races in motor sports. He won the Indianapolis 500, the Long Beach Grand Prix, the 24 Hours at Daytona and the Italian Grand Prix.
He can add the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway to the list.
Montoya gave Dodge its first win of the year. It was also the first win of Montoya's NASCAR Nextel Cup Series career.
He said after the race it ranks up there with winning the Indy 500 and the Long Beach Grand Prix.
"This is as big as any victory," said Montoya, driver of the No. 42 Dodge for Chip Ganassi Racing. "You could say it’s as big as winning the Indy 500 or winning Long Beach. For me winning Long Beach was probably cooler than winning the Indy 500 because it was my first ever big race. Winning here is my first ever big race in stock cars. They’re all right up there. I kinda think this is my favorite. It’s amazing."
Montoya, a driver from Colombia, won the NASCAR Busch Series race at Mexico City earlier this year. This is Montoya's first season in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. He has spent most of his racing career in Formula One and the old CART Series.
"We worked hard for it and not only me, but the whole team deserves this," Montoya said. "I felt pretty good in the car all day. I was a little thirsty, but it’s just more mental than anything else. I felt pretty comfortable. It’s pretty important to be comfortable. I was shocked when they told me the time in qualifying. I thought he was joking and when I found out he was telling me the truth, it was like ‘man, we sucked.’"
Montoya said his winning the Sonoma race will be good for the whole NASCAR sport.
"I think me winning today is going to bring a lot of attention the next few races," Montoya said. "It’s good for me. It’s good for the whole team. I think it’s good for the sport. I’m very proud to be part of it. If I can help it’s good.”
