Juan Pablo Montoya will be back in an IndyCar for the first time since 2000 when he'll test a Penske Dallara DW 12/Chevrolet at the short course in Sebring, Florida on November 25th.
The 38-year old Columbian had raced in NASCAR for Chip Ganassi Racing for the last eight year with victories only on the road courses of Sonoma (2007) and Watkins Glen (2010) in the Sprint Cup Series. In the NASCAR Nationwide Series, the junior series Montoya had one win in Mexico City (2007).
This year Montoya was on the 24 Hours of Daytona DP team with Charlie Kimball, Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas.
Ganassi initially brought Montoya over to the United States to run in the now defunct CART series winning the championship in his rookie year 1999.
Montoya won the famed Indy 500 in 2000 for Ganassi and then moved over to Formula 1, racing for the Williams and McLaren-Mercedes teams.
