That's about putting things in perspective. A little more perspective: The vaunted male "successful" transplant from open wheel, Montoya ranked 21st and won $4,847,783 with 0 poles, after 7 years in Nascar. Patrick was 27th, earning $3,411,110 and a pole.
The highlights of Juan Pablo Montoya include wins in the International F3000 championship in 1998, and the CART FedEx Championship Series in 1999. He also has victories in some of the most prestigious races in the world.
He is the only driver to have won the premier North American open-wheel CART title, the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Daytona, all at the first attempt. Montoya is one of two drivers to have won the CART title in his rookie year, the first being Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell in 1993.
He has also equalled Graham Hill's feat of being a Monaco Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500 race winner; Montoya is currently one of only two active drivers (along with Jacques Villeneuve) who has won two legs of the Triple Crown of Motorsport.
Montoya has also become a crossover race winner by winning races
(starting in each case in his rookie year) in Formula One, CART, IndyCar, Grand-Am and
NASCAR. In 2014 he is leaving NASCAR and returning to Indy racing where he will be a driver for the top team in the sport, Penske.
"The Times Online" named him as one of the top 30 Formula One (F1) drivers of all time.
