Juan Pablo wasn't a big deal in F1, he never really did very well, which I think influenced his decision to switch to a sport with more income possibilities. Just my opinion though.
To be fair, NASCAR has more than twice as many on the grid and more than twice as many races than F1. I think it's really apples and oranges to compare the two in any way. About the only thing they have in common is they both drive on four wheels. Sort of like comparing football and basketball, they both play with a ball.
