Speed to move to NASCAR

By on

Scott Speed, who was replaced by Sebastian Vettel at Toro Rosso, has been linked to the NASCAR series for the 2008 season. Speed still has a strong relationship with Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz, who owns a new team in NASCAR.

Mateschitz declared to 'Motorsport Aktuell': "Speed drove in Formula One against the world's best drivers. He is courageous, and his name is a marketer's dream ...and with a cowboy hat it is perhaps complete! He would be an asset for us in NASCAR."
