MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Juan Pablo Montoya had said he didn't have much to say about ABC football announcer Bob Griese's ill-conceived comment about him on television Saturday.
But he couldn't resist given the chance to say something after Sunday's race.
During a promotion for ESPN's NASCAR coverage of the race Saturday, a graphic showing the top five drivers in the Chase for the championship was displayed, prompting this exchange:
"Where's Juan Pablo Montoya," announcer Chris Spielman asked.
"He's out getting a taco," Griese replied. He later apologized twice.
Montoya said he doesn't really care about what Griese said, but added with a grin: "I could say I spent the last three hours eating tacos, but I was actually driving the car."
