Will Scott Speed to where he belongs

Scott Speed's future remains a mystery at Red Bull after Sunday's race. Kasey Kahne joins the team and provided Brian Vickers has no issues after going off blood thinners, that puts him in the other Red Bull car and Red Bull has said that it will have only two cars next year. So what about Speed? "I haven't honestly been told very much,'' Speed said. "I'm under contract with Red Bull, so we'll see what happens with that. I'm not planning anything. There's nothing to plan. I plan to run in a Red Bull car in Daytona and if it's not that, then I have absolutely no idea what it even could be.'' Asked if he'd mind running in the Nationwide Series, Speed said: "There's no question that I think I'm ready for what we're doing in Cup. I proved that at the beginning of this year. When good cars have been underneath us, we've been fast. It's certainly took the first full year. The first full year I think we went in a little bit too early but as of this year I felt where I've developed as a driver and where I'm at the moment is a really good level.'' Virginian Pilot

[Editor's Note: This is one American open wheel driver (and ex-F1 driver) that needs to move back to open wheel racing where he belongs, and where he is good, rather than run as a backmarker in NASCAR. With IndyCar on a role, Speed needs to take a hard look at the series.]
