Jacques Villeneuve is determined that his future remains in NASCAR, despite losing his ride this season, and is pushing for a full-time drive in the Sprint Cup next year.The 1997 world champion, who will race for the second time at Le Mans with Peugeot next weekend, is working to raise the necessary budget for 2009.Haven't we heard this same song sung to the same tune before? "Even though my first experience ended suddenly, NASCAR remains my priority," the Canadian told Italian magazine Autosprint. "It ended after the Daytona 500 because there were no resources to finance what was left in my program." Yep, there it is, same song, same tune. It wasn't Jacques' fault he was cashiered from the Bill Davis #27 Toyota it was those evil sponsors who he believes did him wrong.Jacques and his manager at the time Craig "Clown Prince" Pollock will never admit it was they that floated the rumors of buying into Bill Davis racing at the end of 2007 and dragging along mega-bucks sponsors to support his NASCAR efforts. "I was probably wrong in refusing previous proposals that would have allowed me to race without having to bring money. But my agreement with Barry Green started in January and you can't find that amount of money in just a few months. We're working on building a full-time program in 2009." Barry Green took over the unenviable task of finding sponsors stupid enough to pay for Jacques' way back into NASCAR, at any level.An even more unenviable task awaits in finding a team that has a seat open. Bill Davis after getting burned by the the terrible twosome of Villeneuve and Pollock is out of the question and besides he's pretty much placed his eggs in Chrissy Wallace's basket and rightfully so. The future is there, not in a jobless former F1 driver.Roush Racing is full-up no ride to be had there, same with Hendrick and RCR. Joe Gibbs is a possibility but a very remote one, Gibbs priority is on driver development not driver resurrections.DEI? Nope, nothing to see there either. GEM, nope the Evernham operation has enough troubles as it is they don't need to be courting, or listening to Villeneuve's empty promises. "But NASCAR remains my priority for the future, because I like the format, I enjoy the series, and I think I can be competitive." Lot'sa luck Jacques, you'll need it. That and a whole wad of cash.Here's an idea Jacques, why don't you sell that mega-million dollar chateau in Villars, Switzerland. That should bring enough cash flow to finance an entire years worth of Cup racing. You could even say it was "sponsored" by wife Johanna and include a very large image of her on the deck-lid.Of course that would require to bid her bon-par, as his french sweetheart Johanna would rather be caught dead than live in the oh so provincial North America.Read more NASCAR and auto racing commentary at Full Throttle , Asian Motor Sports and F1 Rage!
