Any driver will take a win any time, any place.
And who wouldn't bet good money we've not seen the last of Montoya in
victory lane?
But that was not necessarily the goal at St. Petersburg. After 14 years driving on circuits ranging from Formula One to NASCAR, Sunday was about taking baby steps back into open-wheel racing -- which he left in 2007 for a seven-year stint in NASCAR's bulkier stock cars -- and answering important questions.
How fast is too fast? How much can the car handle? And where did all the elbow room, available in such abundance in stock car racing, go?
Montoya finished 15th after starting 18th, while Team Penske teammate Will Power took the checkered flag. It won't go down as a highlight on Montoya's sparkling resume, but there were small victories that he'll take with him.
