Allmendinger and Speed on USF1's short list

Allmendinger and Speed on USF1's short list UPDATE Speed says NO: Sources tell AutoRacingSport.com that NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers AJ Allmendinger and Scott Speed are 'definitely' on the short list of the newly formed USF1 Formula 1 team that's set to begin competition in 2010 while IndyCar star Danica Patrick and NASCAR Sprint Cup sensation 'Kyle Busch are not. Ken and Peter (Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor-USF1 team Principals) are really looking for open wheel experience, and Scott and AJ (Speed and Allmendinger) fit that bill quite well, with AJ being a winner in Champ Car and Scott having F1 experience.' our source informs us.(AutoRacingSport.com)(3-28-2009)
UPDATE: Oh yeah, there’s one other thing I [Scott Speed] wanted to mention. Even though I might talk fondly about my F1 days, I’m not going back. So don’t believe anything that anyone is saying about me joining the new U.S. F1 team next year. Those rumors were generated by journalists who were just being journalists, that’s all. So get used to me, I’m not going anywhere!(Frontstretch.com/Scott Speed Diary)(4-4-2009)

I hope AJ stays in NASCAR...


Really would like to see Speed go away, though, too bad he's says he's not.

Yeah, I can't stand Scott Speed at all either.

As for AJ, I hope he gets a full-time sponsor deal soon, but unfortunately in this economy that kind of thing isn't to be rushed.

I think AJ really has a future. I think he'll be around for awhile. <I hope>

Speed can stay also.
Sorry, but that kid gained hugh points with me in that ARCA finale last season.

Scott Speed has ruined that 84 team. AJ had them running in the top-15, and had moved into the top-35. Now Scott Speed has them back to missing races. Disappointing.

I blame Red Bull. They brought Speed in too early. For whatever reason they bring in these drivers without experience. These guys need to run a lessor series for a full season before going to Cup. I hope there kicking themselves in the butt cus they let AJ go. That was just plain dumb.

I agree

I also for some stupid reason want to see fruity do well in nascar

he's normally everything I don't like in a driver, but for some stupid reason I want Fruity to do well

I don't hope he can finish well. I hope he continues to struggle.

I agree with Andrew and DeeDee, it was dumb to let AJ go when they were running in the top-15 every week in favor of a one-hit wonder (Speed). One win in Trucks means nothing in Cup.
