NASCAR drivers react to Montoya's Indy 500 win
Juan Pablo Montoya won his second career Indianapolis 500 on Sunday and NASCAR drivers, including Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., congratulated the 39-year-old on social media.
Montoya spent seven seasons in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (2007-2013) winning two races and nine poles. He made two Sprint Cup starts last season in the No. 12 Penske Ford.
Here are a few of the driver's reactions to his victory:
During his time in @NASCAR, @jpmontoya was always really cool to me. I looked up to him as a true wheelman. So good to see him win today.
