"They are still looking for me but I have rejected those offers and when they say they want my phone number to talk to me I always say that if it's to return to Formula One don't bother because I'm not interested," Montoya told the EFE news agency in an interview.
"I'm very happy in NASCAR. My family and I are happy in the Unites States and, to be honest, it doesn't even cross my mind to return to Formula One.
"Even if McLaren or Ferrari called me right now, I wouldn't go back," added the Colombian, who left Formula One in a shock move during the middle of the 2006 season.
The 33-year-old has enjoyed limited success in the United States, having finished in 25th position in this year's Sprint Cup series.
Montoya, who was fighting for race wins when he left F1, is confident, however, that success will come and will prove critics wrong.
"The real pundits and those who know about NASCAR have said very good things about what I have done there," he added.
"I know it's a complicated sport for the fans, but I'm sure that when I start winning races, those who criticise me now for having left Formula One will learn about NASCAR and will follow the series."
