If going back to IndyCar wasn’t tough enough, Juan Pablo Montoya has now signed on to race in two NASCAR races in the Sprint Cup Series for Team Penske. 

Montoya will drive the No. 12 Team Racing Ford Fusion starting on June 15th at the Michigan International Speedway for the Quicken Loans 400, and then again on July 27th at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Crown Royal 400, mostly known to all as the Brickyard 400.

After eight seasons of affiliation with Chip Ganassi Racing in NASCAR, this time Montoya has a chance to claim the Brickyard 400 for Team Penske, where he has fared well in the past. 

"Juan is a proven winner in multiple racing disciplines and he is one of the most versatile race car drivers competing today," said Roger Penske. "Michigan and Indianapolis are two important races for Team Penske. We know Juan has the ability to race for wins in both of those events."

Montoya will have Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano as teammates for both races. 

Currently in IndyCar, Montoya sits 11th in the driver’s championship after three races with his best finish coming at Long Beach, just missing a podium finish and taking fourth place. Both of these races will not conflict with his IndyCar schedule, as they are set to go during IndyCar off-weeks.
