- About last week: Montoya and the No. 42 team had issues at Pocono Raceway from the drop of the green flag. Montoya and team were able to overcome an early spark plug wire problem and battle back into the top 20. But a dropped valve on lap 145 ended the team’s day. Montoya was credited with a 40th-place finish.
- Watkins Glen: Montoya will make his second start at the Upstate New York track this weekend at WGI. In his rookie campaign, he was running sixth in the No. 42 Dodge Charger when he was hit from behind and sent spinning with less than 20 laps remaining in the road course race.

- Perfect Combo: Montoya already has two road course victories in NASCAR and will visit Watkins Glen International for the first time with Crew Chief Brian Pattie. Pattie has seen a tremendous amount of success at The Glen when he was a crew chief in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS). Pattie has three pole positions, one outside pole, three victories and one second-place finish to his credit at the road course.

- NY Native: CGRFS Competition Director Steve Hmiel hails from Syracuse, north east of Watkins Glen. Hmiel joined the team last season with over 30 years of NASCAR experience. He has been winning races and championships with some of the most recognized teams in the business including Petty Enterprises, Roush-Fenway Racing and Dale Earnhardt Inc.
- He’s "SIRIUS" Again: For the second year in a row, listen to SIRIUS Satellite Radio every Tuesday on channel 128 for the "Juan Pablo Montoya Report."
