It is funny how much JV's Indy 500 win is being hyped in NASCAR media coverage of him while his F1
world championship is almost an afterthought. JV will become only the 3rd WDC to race in NASCAR (and Mario Andretti became a WDC after running a few NASCAR races and Clark ran only one NASCAR race). I am surprised that is being ignored. The Indy 500 is a big race but it is just one race. Villeneuve was the best over an entire season in the pinnacle of motorsport. This just illustrates the ignorance of F1, even among American racing journalists.
Speaking of former F1 driver in NASCAR, 35 cars have qualified thus far at Dover and one Juan Pablo Montoya is currently on the provisional pole.
