Juan Pablo Montoya turned his first laps in an Indy car in 13 years Monday during his first test with new team Penske Racing. The Penske test at Sebring International Raceway was Montoyas first opportunity to get in his new car. He last drove in IndyCar in 2000, the year he won the Indianapolis 500 driving for Chip Ganassi. Montoya spent seven seasons in NASCAR driving for Ganassi, but signed with rival Roger Penske in September to return to IndyCar when Ganassi decided not to bring the Colombian back for the 2014 season. "I still dont believe it that Im here, to be honest with you," Montoya said. "I look at the car and everything, my name on the car. Its really exciting. Its nice because theres been excitement of everybody that Im coming back to open wheel." New Penske teammates Will Power and Helio Castroneves both attended Mondays test, and Power prepared the car before turning the No. 2 over to Montoya. Also on hand was Penske adviser and four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Rick Mears. "Its exciting that theyre here and willing to help. Thats what Team Penske is all about," Montoya said. "Really, everybody works together and is trying to get me up to speed as fast as I can. The faster I get up to speed, the better it is for everybody." Montoya had modest goals for Monday: He wanted to get comfortable in the car and figure out what has changed since 2000, when he won the Indianapolis 500 driving for Ganassi. "Im not going out there to try and break the track record on the first lap," he said. "Im going to build up to it and keep working on the car and get the car to do what I want. You learn that as you go through the years. When you are young, you drive the car anywhere it is. Then you realize you can make it drive for you, you can achieve the same things with half the effort." Montoya won seven races in CART and the Indy 500 in his two seasons competing in open wheel with Ganassi. Their run together also included the 1999 CART championship. He then moved to Formula One, where he spent six seasons before abruptly quitting to return to the United States to compete in NASCAR. He reunited with Ganassi, but the results never came. Montoya won one Nationwide race in 2007, and had two Sprint Cup victories in 253 career starts. His last win in NASCAR was in 2010, a year after he made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship and finished a career-best eighth in the standings. At a fan event prior to his final NASCAR race earlier this month at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Montoya was blunt about his hopes for his move to IndyCar -- "Im tired of sucking," he said. Hell have an opportunity to be competitive with Penske, a consistent contender in IndyCar for both the series championship and the Indy 500. wholesale nfl jerseys .C. -- Eli Manning didnt need a fourth-quarter comeback Thursday night. cheap jerseys .

Investigators do not know the kidnappers motive and there was no ransom demand for Vi Ripkens release, Aberdeen Police Chief Henry Trabert said at a news conference. The gunman forced Ripken into her silver Lincoln Continental between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Tuesday, police said. She was found bound and unharmed but shaken about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday near her home in Aberdeen, about 48 kilometres northeast of Baltimore. When asked if police believe the kidnapper knew who he was abducting, Trabert did not answer, saying investigators dont know the motive or if the suspect has any ties to the Ripken family. A next-door neighbour said Vi Ripken told him her kidnapper didnt seem to know that her son was the Hall of Fame infielder nicknamed "Iron Man" for playing in 2,632 consecutive games during his 21-year career with the Baltimore. Gus Kowalewski said he spoke with Vi Ripken later Wednesday morning. The 72-year-old retired autoworker said Ripken told him the gunman tied her hands and put a blindfold on her, but said he wouldnt hurt her. "He lit cigarettes for her, they stopped for food," Kowalewski said. "He said, Im not going to hurt you. Im going to take you back, and thats what he did." Kowalewski said Ripken told him the gunman originally planned to put tape over her eyes. "But he didnt do that because she said please dont do that cause Im claustrophobic," he said. Instead, the gunman put some type of mask or blinders on her, and she could see somewhat out the sides, he said. Ripken told her neighbour the gunman also didnt seem to know she was part of the Ripken family, who is well-known throughout the Baltimore area and to baseball fans all over. "He said he just wanted money and her car," Kowalewski said. Three years after he voluntarily ended his Iron Man streak, Ripken Jr. retired in 2001. He and is the chairman and founder of Ripken Baseball Inc., which he runs along with his brother, Bill. He owns three minor-league baseball teams, including the Single A IronBirds based at the Ripken Baseball complex in Aberdeen, a middle-class area of about 15,000 people. Kowalewski said Ripken ttold him the gunman asked her about items in the car related to the IronBirds and did not seem to know about the team.dddddddddddd "This has been a very trying time for our family, but we are grateful and relieved that mom is back with us, safe and healthy," the Ripken family said in a statement. "We want to thank everyone for their tremendous support, especially all of the law enforcement agencies that worked so hard and quickly." Investigators determined that Ripken was missing Tuesday night after talking to Baltimore County Police, who notified the media about her disappearance shortly before she was found. The county borders the one where Aberdeen is located. Aberdeen authorities have asked Baltimore County Police not to release its 911 tapes because the investigation is continuing. Police also would not say whether Ripkens credit or ATM cards had been used. Vi Ripken described her abductor as a tall, thin white man with glasses wearing camouflage clothing, but police had no other details. The FBI and Maryland State Police were also involved in the investigation. Ripkens brother, Bill, played second base in the major leagues. The two were managed for a time on the Orioles by their father and Vis husband, Cal Ripken Sr., who died in 1999. The family said that it could not comment further due to the ongoing investigation. After the gunman left, Ripken honked her cars horn until a neighbour found her, Kowalewski said. He said he was surprised the honking didnt wake him up. Someone reported a suspicious car to authorities and she was found, police said. Vi Ripken is founding chairwoman of the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, which, according to its website, helps to build character for disadvantaged young people. Besides Cal and Bill, she has another son and a daughter. The Ripken Baseball complex also is home to the annual Cal Ripken World Series for 11- and 12-year-olds. Cal Ripken Baseball is the name for the 5-to-12-year-old division of the Babe Ruth League. Ripkens business empire also includes youth baseball camps and clinics, a minor-league stadium design firm, a merchandising arm and a charitable foundation. Ripken has no formal role with the Orioles but has spoken about his desire to return to the team. Ripken works as a studio analyst for TBS during its post-season baseball coverage. He is a pitchman for brands including Energizer, Under Armour and Chevrolet. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
