Papis to Pilot a Chevrolet in NASCAR Debut

Multiple-series and global driver Max Papis will soon have something new to add to his GM Racing portfolio as the European sports car ace prepares to make his NASCAR Monte Carlo SS debut at Watkins Glen in both the Nextel Cup and Busch races.

"I have lots of experience driving front-engined, rear-drive cars but this is a completely different machine," Papis said. "I'll be in the paddock listening to every piece of advice I can get.” Papis was actually first influenced to compete in a NASCAR road course event by the late Randy Dorton, the former director of engine development at Hendrick Motorsports.

"Hendrick Motorsports has helped me very, very much in this - they are providing the engine for the No. 78 - and before Randy Dorton passed away, we talked about how great it would be to run a road course with one of his engines," Papis said. "So I think it's honoring him in a way by running a Hendrick engine."
