With confirmation this week that Juan Pablo Montoya will not return next year to the #42 Chevy fielded by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing in NASCARs Sprint Cup Series, we [AutoWeek] sat down on Thursday with the former CART World Series champion, Indianapolis 500 winner and Formula One race winner to talk about his plan for 2014. But thats not all Montoya, who turns 38 next month, opened up about. Autoweek : Whats on your agenda now that we know you wont return to Earnhardt Ganassi in Sprint Cup? Juan Pablo Montoya : I dont know yet. But what I told everybody is, whatever I want to do, its gotta be in a car to win races. You need to be in a winning car, thats the No. 1 thought for me right now. What am I gonna do? I dunno. You know, one side of me of course wants to stay in NASCAR, Ive put a lot of effort and time into it. But the No. 1 thing for me is being in a winning car. AW : Are you open to looking at IndyCar again, or other series besides NASCAR? JPM : Absolutely, looking at everything, yeah. Yeah, I would think, I mean I gotta look at, as I told you, its gotta be a winning car. Whatever I do has gotta be in a winning car. AW : Have you already targeted who you want to talk to about opportunities for next year? JPM : Do I have an idea? Yes, of course. Am I gonna tell you? No. (see full interview at AutoWeek )
