Most a 17. jn a sorban, Connie Montoya.
Juan Pablo Montoya felesgeknt,( frje hossz ideig Formula-1-es autversenyz volt, most pedig a NASCAR SPRINT CUP versenyzje) Connie Montoya pontosan tudja, milyen szerencss s hogy milyen klnleges s knyelmes gyerekkort tud biztostani kt kisgyermeknek.
Ha visszatekintnk Kolumbiba, Montoyak szlhazjba, megllapthatjuk hogy sok kisgyermek nem ilyen szerencss. Ez az egyik ok, amirt ltrehoztk a Formula Smiles alaptvnyt, ami a szegny kolumbiai gyerekeken segt, gy, hogy sportolsi lehetsgeket biztost szmukra.
Az alaptvny btortja a sportban val rszvtelt az orszgban, ahol nincsenek fizikai oktatprogramok. Az alaptvny kpez oktatkat, atltikai ltestmnyeket fejleszt s arra sztnzi a gyerekeket hogy jrjanak iskolba.
Annyira hlsak- mondja Connie- boldognak ltod ket s mosolyognak. Ez annyira kielgt s ez mg jobban arra sztnz hogy folytassuk.
Connie Freydell, 30, akkor tallkozott a ksbbi frjvel, mikor autogramot krt tle Miami-ban. Mindketten kapcsolatban voltak akkor, de 5 hnappal ksbb sszejttek s 2002-ben sszehzasodtak.
A kt gyermekk - Sebastian 3 ves, Paulina 2 ves – kihivsok el lltja ket a versenyek alatt, de Connie kpes gondoskodni a gyerekekrl egyszer egy hnapban a versenyplya mellett is, s a hnap msik futamn pedig csak egyedl van ott. A Montoya motor home gyakran rendez 4 napos partikat, amikor bartok s csaldtagok jnnek t Kolumbibl hogy megltogassk ket s ilyenkor Connie fz.
Connie szerint a paddock a Formula-1-ben kzelebb hozza a felesgeket egymshoz, mint a NASCAR-ban, de a NASCAR Sprint Cup sorozat forgataga bartsgosabb.
Kln lehetsz a sajt motorhome-odban, de mindenki kedvesebbnek tnik- mondta
A tli idszak alatt Connie azt tervezi, hogy Kolumbiba utazik, hogy jra tallkozon a gyerekekkel az alaptvnyon keresztl.
Ez tnyleg az v fnypontja neknk- mondta

_____________________________________________
In 60 years of NASCAR racing, the sport has been filled with colorful characters. This year, Sporting News decided to craft a list of the sport's 60 Most Beautiful People.
The selections were made as a result of nominations sent in by readers and NASCAR fans to the Sporting News' publications and Web sites.
The list was finalized and published in a special edition, which is now available on newsstands and at the online store at streetandsmiths.com. SceneDaily is running the list, with one person from the top 60 to be featured each day.
Today's installment features No. 17, Connie Montoya.
As the wife of longtime Formula One racer and current NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Juan Pablo Montoya, Connie Montoya knows how blessed she and her spouse are to be able to provide her two young children with a comfortable upbringing.
Back in the Montoyas' native Colombia, many kids aren't so lucky. That's why they created the Formula Smiles Foundation, which helps children in poor Colombian neighborhoods by building or improving sports facilities and infrastructure.
The foundation encourages sports participation in a country that doesn't have physical education programs. The foundation also hires instructors, provides athletic equipment and gear and encourages children to stay in school.
"They're always so grateful," Connie says. "You see them so happy and smiling. It's so rewarding and it just motivates you to want to do more."
The former Connie Freydell, 30, met her future husband while asking for his autograph in Miami. Both were involved in relationships but reconnected five months later and were married in 2002.
Having two young children - son Sebastian is 3 and daughter Paulina is 2 - makes it challenging to attend races, but Connie manages to bring both kids to the track about once a month and will attend another monthly race on her own. The Montoya motor home often becomes a four-day party, with family and friends from Colombia visiting and Connie doing the cooking.
She says that although the paddock setup of Formula One places the wives closer together than in NASCAR, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series crowd seems friendlier.
"You're spread apart in your various motor homes, but everyone just seems nicer," she says.
During the offseason, Connie planned to return to Colombia and renew her friendships with children through the Formula Smiles Foundation.
"It's really the highlight of the year for us," she says.
