The tension between Earnhardt Ganassi teammates #42-Juan Pablo Montoya and #1-Jamie McMurray has abated but not entirely been brushed off the table, or at least that’s the impression one could draw from Montoya’s remarks. Montoya and McMurray crashed early in the Feb. 28 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Montoya excoriated McMurray afterwards. According to Montoya, it’s time to move on, but he didn’t seem all that forgiving. “He sent me a text saying ‘la-la-la-la-la,’ and he was sorry about the whole thing,” said Montoya of McMurray, “and I said ‘don’t worry about it.’ He asked if I wanted him to call me, and I said ‘don’t worry about it.’ It happens. It’s racing. Move on. Really, I was really (ticked off) at the time because we had a DNF (‘did not finish’) the week before with an engine problem. And (the next) week, being taken out by your teammate is something that you don’t really expect, but it happens. It’s part of racing and move on.”(NASCAR This Week)(3-7-2010)
