Valiante to replace Montoya

Michael Valiante has big-shoes to fill and the best way he can do that is by winning the inaugural NASCAR Busch Series race at Montreal this weekend. With Juan Montoya, a former F1 driver and Champ Car champ, taking a breather, Valiante was called by Ganassi Racing to drive the No. 42.Texaco Havoline car.

“It is an honor to, not only be selected by Ganassi but to fill in for Montoya," the 27-year-old said.

He will also be fulfilling his normal duties in the Grand-Am Rolex Series so it will be a busy weekend for the Canadian.
