Colin McRea to NASCAR?
Apparently the flying scotsman's spent some time here thinking about going roundy-round, this from the timesonlineUK:
European racers were once quite common in NASCAR line-ups. Jim Clark entered the 1967 American 500 at Rockingham, but not since 1978 has a European driver had a serious crack at NASCAR. That could be about to change. The prospect of McRae, a master of car control, bringing his flair and finesse to the States has got the Americans fired up. “Colin McRae in NASCAR? Hell, yeah,” Jimmie Johnson, runner-up in last year’s NASCAR Nextel Cup, whooped. “He’d be awesome.”
Hell, yeah, He'd be awesome!
Ha!

Yeah, unfortunately roundy round is one of the few ways to actually make a living racing. Colin's hardly broke, i'd suspect, but he'd probably enjoy the high profile nature of nascar. For a little while.
Anyway, crashes are what the nascar fan wants to see, so Colin should be a big hit!

that rumor came out almost a year ago but nothing came of it at that time. I think it would be a kick. why not. It's not like he's doing anything else right now 'cept Dakar. But since he's so good at crashing, maybe he should go into the movies as a stunt driver

what, having none of thier cars finish was maybe a wake up call that they weren't cut out for dakar? It's awfully hard to beat the pajero's right now, but just wait a year or two and then when Mitsu's out of business they can come back again.
