BROOKLYN, Mich. - Dodge Director of SRT and Motorsports Marketing Mike Accavitti said today that the manufacturer is still trying to free up Juan Pablo Montoya from his contract with the McLaren-Mercedes Formula One team so Montoya can begin driving stock cars.
The F1 season ends October 22, and even though McLaren replaced Montoya soon after he announced he would join Chip Ganassi Racing in 2007, Montoya, who will replace Casey Mears in the No. 42 car, is still prohibited to drive stock cars.
"We're still working with our partners at McLaren on when we can get him in the car," Accavitti said. "Right now, the earliest looks like it's going to be some time in October, but we're looking to move that up."
