Chip Ganassi Racing officials are still waiting anxiously for Juan Pablo Montoya to get in one of their race cars, according to this week's NASCAR Scene. Montoya still has not gotten out of his Formula One contract. He was replaced after announcing in July that he will drive the No. 42 Ganassi Dodge in NASCAR's Nextel Cup Series beginning next season but is not allowed to even test a Cup car until the F1 season ends Oct. 22.

NASCAR President Mike Helton said there's a "good possibility" the rule that guarantees a past champion a spot in each Nextel Cup race could be tweaked for next season.

For start-up teams that enter Cup without owner points, hiring a past champion has become a method of circumventing the rule that guarantees spots only to the top 35 in points. Hall of Fame Racing employed two-time champ Terry Labonte for the first five races this year, and Team Red Bull has relied on Bill Elliott to make races in a part-time schedule this year.
