DRIVERS OPPOSE VILLENEUVE CUP DEBUT.(Competition)
NASCAR cleared Jacques Villeneuve to make his Nextel Cup debut in the Oct. 7 race at Talladega Superspeedway, but some of the series' top drivers don't approve.
"I think you need to get some experience in something else before you stick [new drivers] in a Cup race, especially when it's so crucial for the championship,'' Jeff Gordon said.
Villeneuve counts a Car of Tomorrow test at Talladega and the recent Craftsman Truck Series race at Las Vegas ("Place Your Bets,'' AW, Oct. 1) as his stock-car experience. Bill Davis Racing requested permission from NASCAR for Villeneuve to make his Cup debut after he qualified seventh and finished 21st at Las Vegas.
"He's doing what? Holy cow, that's not good,'' Kyle Busch said upon hearing the news.
Villeneuve also will participate in the truck race at Talladega. Fellow Formula One castoff Scott Speed will make his stock-car debut in the ARCA race (Competition, Oct. 1). Speed has a lot to learn: At the Talladega test, he didn't realize that the jobs of carrying his helmet and buckling his seatbelts fall to him.
NO CAUSE KNOWN FOR MCRAE CRASH
Authorities have not determined the cause of the helicopter crash that killed former World Rally champion Colin McRae, 39, on Sept. 15 (Competition, Sept. 24), but McRae's father is convinced his son's helicopter had a mechanical problem.
