For Nascar (and F1) fans everywhere . . .

"My name is Juan Pablo Montoya,
You killed by Father
Prepare to DIE!!!!"

I don't follow and I am a big Monotya fan. Does that has something to do with princess bride?

btw, Scott Purett is a big whiner. He could haven't taken home 2nd place. He deserves what he got.

DING! DING! DING!

Actually, it is just the phase itself (I used to say that with his Cart and F1 races).
After Mexico, now I figured general Nascar fans will have some idea who I am refering to (instead of saying "Wasn't that Indigo Montoya?")

I am also a BIG Montoya fan (and Schumacher, and Alonso, and Coultard, Stewart, and Casey Mears, and Mikey Waltrip-even after Daytona).
They all pale in comparison to the best and my fav-> the great Jimmy Clark.

Princess Bride was Inigo Montoya played by Mandy Patinkin and he is the origin of the quote. Not so up on all this racing stuff!

A Wee Bit of explanation:

The Princess Bride: movie from the 80s that is now a much quoted "cult classic"
Indigo Montoya: Spanish sword master played by the actor Mandy P.
-He seeks revenge on the 6-fingered man who killed his father. When he meets the 6-fingered man he will (and does) say: "My name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father! Prepare to die!"

Juan Pablo Montoya: (short and simplified version) race car driver from Columbia. He was an up and coming superstar under Williams F1 racing organization. He was "lent" to Chip Ganasi for CART (Indianapolis-stye open-wheel race cars), where JPM won a championship and the Indy 500. JPM then went back to Williams and raced and won (notably at the Monaco GP) F1 races there and for MacLaren. After a VERY rough time last season, JPM rejoined Chip Gannasi to race in Chip's NASCAR stock cars, once again as a "rookie." He is racing in the "major" Nextel Cup Series and the "minor" Busch Series. Last Sunday, he won his first NASCAR race, a Busch series road coarse in Mexico City.

I have been mixing the Indigo quote with JPM since the CART days, now I get to share with the world . . .
