Jacques Villeneuve says his real career remains in motor racing. And his agent Craig Pollock says Villeneuve’s challenge is to amass the most impressive collection of racing titles ever. The former Indy Car, Indianapolis 500 and Formula One champion is close to getting started in NASCAR and will also race the famous Le Mans 24-hour event June 16-17 in France. Pollock said he is “very close” to lining up a title sponsor for a NASCAR ride to get Villeneuve installed on a team with a serious chance to win. Villeneuve may do some driving in ARCA, the Craftsman Truck Series and the Busch Series, which has a race in Montreal on Aug. 4, before moving up to the Nextel Cup. “That’s still the main plan,” Villeneuve said. “We’re working hard with Craig on the NASCAR project for 2008.”(canada.com)(2-20-2007)
