Ex Mclaren and Williams Formula One racer Juan Pablo Montoya has managed to win the Daytona 24. The Columbian is the only the second person to win the Daytona 24, the Indy 500 and a Formula One Grand Prix.

After winning this race Jaun had this to say to the press.

"I thought it was pretty tough overall," the Columbian said of the experience.

"Max Angelelli and Darren Manning (No.10 car) gave me a run for my money through my last stint, doing everything they could to make my life miserable. I started thinking about all the things that could go wrong after leading 18-20 hours, and then not winning the race. I wanted to go as fast as I could and pass people, but I also didn't want to be remembered for taking someone out of the race in its final stages.

"This is a great win for the team and I look forward to running for Chip and Felix in the upcoming NASCAR season," he added.

Was Mclaren wrong to drop the Columbian? Or do you want him to stay in Nascar?
