Juan Pablo Montoya and the No. 42 Texaco Havoline Dodge Team Facts:
Standings: Juan Pablo Montoya and the Texaco/Havoline team sit in the 23rd spot in the NASCAR
NEXTEL Cup standings following their 43rd-place finish in Michigan last weekend. It was Montoya and the
team’s first DNF (Did Not Finish) in 15 races this season.
Infineon: Montoya has plenty of experience on road courses, having won five events in CART for
Chip Ganassi Racing in 1999 and 2000. He also has seven victories on the Formula One circuit.
However, his experience in Sonoma is limited to a three-day racing school in 1992 when he was just 16-
years-old.

Rookie Race: Montoya leads David Ragan by four points (159-155) in the NEXTEL Cup
Raybestos® Rookie standings after his 43rd-place finish last weekend. The best finish by a Rookie at

Newman (2002).
Chassis: Wingo and the Texaco/Havoline team have selected chassis #741 for this weekend’s
race at Infineon Raceway. This is the first race for the new CoT on a road course and Montoya’s first
competitive race on the 1.99-mile road course.
Hamlin in Milwaukee: Kevin Hamlin will pilot the No. 42 Texaco/Havoline Busch car again for the
third straight weekend at The Milwaukee Mile. This will be the fourth race for Hamlin, who is celebrating
his birthday on Friday, in the No. 42 Dodge. Hamlin finished 21st at Kentucky Speedway last weekend.
