Chase Montgomery is leery of getting caught in a racing trap. Like hundreds of other aspiring young drivers, the 24-year-old Mt. Juliet racer is desperate to land a ride – any ride – in one of NASCAR’s upper series.On the other hand, he knows that too many races in too many non-competitive cars can saddle him with a losing reputation that could be difficult to overcome. “It’s hard to know what to do sometimes,” said Montgomery, who is sifting through some offers that could put him back behind the wheel after a limited and frustrating ’06 season. “I know in my heart that I’m capable of driving a race car, but I’ve got to have something decent to drive.” “Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a part of this sport,” Montgomery said. “I can assure you, I’m not giving up.”(Tennessean)(12-13-2006)
