CONCORD, N.C. — Juan Pablo Montoya was one of NASCAR's most annoying drivers.
He annoyed fans. He annoyed NASCAR. He sometimes annoyed the media. He even annoyed his own teammates. And he particularly annoyed other drivers.
Which was highly entertaining. Like the time he went helmet-to-helmet with Kevin Harvick after they wrecked each other at Watkins Glen. Or when he squabbled with Tony Stewart. Or openly feuded with teammate Jamie McMurray. Or reportedly traded punches with Ryan Newman in the NASCAR hauler.
Montoya was not well liked by much anyone. But that was OK with him.
