Castroneves and Power Welcome Montoya

With the addition of Juan Pablo Montoya to the Team Penske ranks in 2014, the current Penske driverswill be getting exactly what they've been asking for.

Penske's Will Power has never been shy about wanting the fastest teammates possible to push him beyond his limits, and in that department, the Aussie should have his hands full with JPM. Penske's Helio Castroneves has always incorporated his teammates' better practices into his own driving style, and with Montoya, the ageless Brazilian could grow his ever-expanding toolbox with some of what makes the Colombian such a threat on road and street courses.

xxxxAs both drivers shared with RACER Monday morning, having Montoya in a third Team Penske Chevy next year is nothing but a positive development for the legendary program.

p“I'm really happy to see him come onboard, happy to have him in IndyCar, and he's done so much winning in CART and F1, that having such a well-credentialed driver join the team can only have massive benefits," said Power. “Obviously, I've spent a little bit of time with him. He's a very switched-on guy. I can tell he's going to be an excellent development driver and I've definitely looking forward to working with him.

"I think he's going to help and he's going to push all of us. He's quick, man. He's very serious about what he does and he's seriously fast. That's exactly the type of guy that we need."
