F1 vet considers NASCAR move
Formula One veteran David Coulthard is open to the thought of a future move to NASCAR, but not until his F1 days are solidly over. "I would consider something like NASCAR," Coulthard said just before practice for the Race of Champions. "I don't think I would consider IRL. The only thing is, America, you have to commit to it absolutely. Which means you move out there, take your family there. But I'd certainly consider it. This will be my 15th season in Formula One. After that ... I'll do this as long as I'm having fun, as long as they keep saying 'Would you like to continue?'" Coulthard said NASCAR's lengthy 38-week schedule is of no concern to him.

What "family" would he need to move? He's not married and he doesn't have any kids (at least none that have been made public).

Basically he's saying nicely that he is sticking to what he knows, and isn't going to NASCAR.

I'm going to take some heat for this but here it goes: the only F1 driver Nascar should seek out is Lewis Hamilton. In his one season he has proven himself to be a heck of a driver, and quite honestly the sport needs some diversity. I like Nascar but I'm a little annoyed that there isn't one driver that I have something in common with (if you catch my drift).

I think I do Biggie. Nascar does have a diversity program, but I would say I have not noticed anything different.

Thanks jackmanrob for catching the drift. I really do like the sport, but I really just would love to look at the screen and go... I understand you, or I know where you come from.
One day....

J. Hova, I agree and would like to see the same... In addition to Hamilton I'd also like to see James Stewart, the Motocross Champ.

Here we go again. Another Open Wheel racer that is tired of F1. Frankly I'm suprised anybody would stay that long given all the politics. But so why do these guys always have to pick NASCAR? Oh i forgot...the money. Personally, I'd rate David Coulthard as a "good" F1 driver but even the "excellent" rating ones have a huge hill to get over. I've said it many times, there s HUGE difference in driving a 1500 lbs car versus a 3500 lbs car.

he's giving no respect to NASCAR, he thinks when he's "done" he can come over here and really compete in nascar. Montoya's twice the driver he is and we see the trouble he's had. Coulthard would just equal another back of the back driver. This open wheel craze will settle down soon.

James Stewart would be a great addition, Fletch.
I think he wants to come over to NASCAR, too. Or at least I remember hearing that somewhere.
Plus with the nickname Bubba...just kidding. I won't make any bad jokes.
