No, Juan Pablo Montoya did not leave NASCAR. But after Montoya's car broke under caution and slid out of control into a Jet Dryer truck at Daytona, things have been changed for the better, at least for the drivers at the truck.
After the marshmallow roast that was the Daytona Jet Dryer truck, it was noticed that while scampering for his life, the driver didn't have a fire suit or helmet.
As unlikely as this event is to happen again, NASCAR instigated some new rules.
When jet dryer trucks are deployed, there will be an extra pace car behind the trucks with lights on, to apprise cars passing by about the truck that can go up in a ball of fire. And to slow down.
So the cars need to slow down when they approach.
Also the truck drivers will be wearing fire suits and helmets for the next time Montoya goes on a destructive bent! (sarc)-Bruce
They initiated the new rules at the Phoenix race today.
