Jaques Villeneuvre, Juan Pablo Montoya, Kamui Kobayashi, Kimi Raikkonen , Jenson Button, Scott Speed, Piquet Jr. and Mario Andretti are all that come to my mind. Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have done tests/car swaps as well. Lmk if I missed any though.
Daniil Kvyat made a few Cup starts last year and actually just ran either the Xfinity or truck race at COTA (can't remember which). He did honestly as well as one would expect with a non-NASCAR team dabbling into NASCAR.
Basically the same as the others, drivers coming from open wheel to stock cars and struggle. Its all easy until you get to cup. It shows it takes talent unlike the Brits who think F1 drivers can go and win on every circuit. (Only 2 other drivers have won in F1 and Nascar cup: "Mario Andretti (1967 Daytona 500), Dan Gurney (5 times at Riverside).
I mean, yeah, that's how motorsports work. Some F1 drivers do decently well with few starts in NASCAR, but their entire lives they've raced entirely different cars an entirely different way. It's like throwing a NASCAR driver into an F1, or a rally driver into either of them, or any of the above drivers in a MotoGP seat. At a certain point (unless you are Fernando Alonso) you end up relatively specialized.
@@Ryzardhere’s the thing tho, f1 drivers go to other Motorsports and usually have plenty of success. Plenty of different car racing series- imsa, dmt, wrc, etc. f1 drivers have attempted all of those, but they still struggle in nascar the most. Kurt Busch did, however, start the Indy 500 one year. Almost won it. NASCAR drivers are some of the best for sure
@@ihave40winsyt the only year he’s ever missed a cup race since joining full time back in 2006 I believe and it’s because Joey Logano wrecking him (and in the same race pissing the one guy who you wouldn’t want to piss off at the time in Tony Stewart)
That was my first nascar race i truly remember watching. That final lap, Kyle busch had to rim ride into 3 and 4 and scrape the wall to avoid the wreck up front, snagging the victory from 3rd
Let's see Tony Stewart, 49 Cup wins and championships. 2 indy car titles AJ Foyt 7 indy car titles 7 nascar wins. (Including the 4 timrs Indy 500, won 24 hours of LeMans) Johnny Rutherford, Mark Donohue, Mario Andretti, Aj Allmendinger, John Andretti, Robby Gordon Just to name a few who won in both.
To be fair, of all people, you'd think Villeneuve would have some respect on the track to what can happen when you drive like a pathetic little prick instead of respecting the danger they present. But then he drives like a pathetic little prick and whines that it's Montoya's fault.
@@jvydenlovescruises Anyway, I think we pronounce Chevrolet with the proper French pronunciation, or at least get close to it. But I never hear Renault as anything but "Ren-awlt" on the rare occasions when you hear it mentioned at all, since they don't sell cars over here. At one time they did--back in the 60s. Used to see a lot of Renaults in the US back then, but not for a long time.
