Busch to replace Speed in ROC

UPDATE This rumor is downgraded to 'false.' There will be no replacement for Scott Speed in the Race of Champions. The USA team is unable to get any US drivers there in time…. Marco has "team obligations." Therefore Travis Pastrana will run as both a rally driver and a race driver and will be Team USA's lone entry.

12/15/06 Scott Speed has been forced to pull out of tomorrow's Race of Champions event in Paris following his Formula One testing accident at Jerez yesterday where he suffered a sprained hand/wrist.

"Unfortunately the doctor is not allowing Scott to do the event," said Race of Champions co-organizer Fredrik Johnsson.

"We're currently looking for a replacement to join the USA team. We have been in contact with Kurt Busch. He wants to come, he's trying to change some engagements he has, and if it all works out he will be here tomorrow morning in time for some practice."
