Hoping to follow the route taken by fellow Indy500 winner and F1 Grand Pix winner, Juan Pablo Montoya, former World Champion Jacques Villeneuve is still talking about a possible move into NASCAR.

According to Autosport.com, he has already committed himself to racing at Le Mans with Peugeot this year but, speaking to Canadian press at the launch of his new album earlier this week he said that he may consider racing in ARCA, Craftsman Trucks and the Busch series before moving up to NASCAR. “That’s still the main plan,” he was quoted as saying by the Toronto Sun. “We’re working hard with Craig (Pollock, his manager) on the NASCAR project for 2008.”

There is still a strong possibility that Villeneuve may make his stock car debut this year at the Montreal Busch race.
