I purposely left him unnamed, as the people who care most already know.

I'll be curious how he will do. Besides, his mouth already had burnt too many bridges for Jacques in F1. He was probably finished there anyways. The fast teams wouldn't touch him and the rest couldn't afford what he wanted. In F1, the LAST thing to do is to publicly complain about your cars and team.

For Jacques, Sam Hornish and number of other well known open wheel driver looking for NASCAR rides are rampant.
Sam tried to qualify for this weekend's Nextel race, but failed.
