All I can find is this article. It says Tag may be heading to NASCAR as well. I'm very saddened by this news, in my opinion it is a waste of talent as both JV and Tag are great drivers.

Villeneuve off to NASCAR

Jacques Villeneuve could be heading for NASCAR next year, according to a report in the Journal de Montreal newspaper. The story suggested that Villeneuve has already signed a pre-contract with a NASCAR team conditional on him finding an F1 drive. He would spend one season racing in the Busch Series and then move into the Nextel Cup in 2008. The existence of a deal has been denied by Villeneuve but it is clear that there is contact with NASCAR teams. There is very little chance of Villeneuve returning to F1 again.
French Canadian driver Alex Tagliani is also reported to be heading for NASCAR in 2007.

I highly doubt it will draw a lot of people to NASCAR, most that I know are disappointed that JV decided to take that route, I would have rather seen him in the American Lemans Series or something along those lines, hopefully he decides to do the 24 Hours of Lemans.
I totally agree crynel, it will just be a small but loyal JV fanbase that follows his progress. I won't be watching the races but I reckon I'll read his results, just to see how he is doing.
