Jacques Enjoying NASCAR Challenge
Although Jacques was reduced to the role of passenger when he was shunted out of Saturday’s Kroger 200 at the Martinsville Speedway, it is clear that the former F1 World Champion is relishing the exciting challenge of driving in NASCAR.

The French/Canadian’s enjoyment has been apparent before and after each of his first three races in the Craftsman Truck Series and it was no different this weekend.

"It was a lot of fun," he reflected. "You can race hard and it's a little bit like a road course where you use the brakes a lot. It was very entertaining."

The only disappointment for JV was his premature exit from the race having made a dramatic move through the field.

"It's just a shame because the truck was going really well," he told Autosport. "The team worked hard all weekend and it was getting strong. We were gaining positions, got hit a few times and got turned around there. I'm not sure what happened."
