Jacques Villeneuve Talladega testing with the good ole boys of Nascar racing
What more can be said... :-)
Great week of Jacques Villeneuve Nascar news. He did well testing and he's ready for Vegas Baby!
If you're interested in sending us your comments or an article you wrote about JV, please do contact us using the contact form. We'd love to share your thoughts and stories.
For some, autoracing is a religion. Watching a race live is a spiritual experience(for me it is lol).
I'm not giving up following Formula 1 or Indy but I am so looking forward to watching my Nacar with Jacques Villeneuve participating. I just can't wait.
Best of luck Jacques in Vegas. This time, what happens in Vegas -- Won't stay in Vegas. lol

Go JV Go! That's actually very good for anyone's first time testing Nascar with the 'pack'. His times in drafting were very good and what a thrill that must have been.
See you at the tailgates!
