Default Another F1 driver going to Nascar

Yep, Scott Speed is headed to the Craftsman Truck series. Granted he was one of the worst F1 drivers of recent times, it's still another open-wheeler coming over.

From Nascar:

"Red Bull Racing Team announced Thursday that Scott Speed will race a limited schedule in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in the No. 46 Morgan-Dollar Motorsports entry."

You can't say he was one of the worst...he wasn't given a good opportunity to grow. Its not like he drove for a powerhouse. Such is life. I am sure he will do well in NASCAR.

I had to make some discalimer against him or all the anti-Nascar guys would be saying that he sucks and is nothing compared to Alonso, Massa, etc...

How did Michael Andretti do in F1 again?


that's too bad that Scott Speed had such an early departure in F1.. Hopefully he'll do well in the truck series..

I'm glad he found a ride. He wasn't that bad. His car was.

He had more than a season to deliver some respectable results.
