Villeneuve has not raced on ovals since 1995, when he won both the Indianapolis 500 and the Indy Racing League title. The Canadian used those accomplishments to land an F1 ride, and became world champion in 1997.

Jacques Villeneuve is this decade's Kurt Cobain.

Jacques Villeneuve is this decade's Kurt Cobain.

A very stupid analogy. [How were your SAT scores anyway?]

• He did not spend his entire moderately talented career messed up.
• He's still alive.

But I will grant you that he has now committed career suicide.

My SAT scores were pretty good. I take it you took yours before they added the section on sarcasm. :p

Speaking of Jacktard... (http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news?slug=ap-nascar-villeneuve&prov=ap&type=lgns)


Villeneuve, a former F1 world champion, will test a truck for Bill Davis Racing on Monday at Chicagoland Speedway, the team said Thursday.

Just in case I needed another reason not to watch the truck series...

That's an easy mistake to make for a non-racing journalist. The best USA Today article was about 10 years ago, including a picture on the front cover about the Bob Bondurant Racing School, which listed the cars as Formula One's. :rolleyes: :saywhat: :shakehead
