Speed Running Truck Races
RacingOne Report
Scott Speed will race a limited schedule in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in the No. 46 Morgan-Dollar Motorsports entry.
Speed's No. 46 will carry a Red Bull paint scheme for his NCTS debut at Atlanta Motor Speedway on March 7, followed by a second NCTS race at Martinsville Speedway on March 28.
The former Formula One driver will get additional seat time participating in the NCTS open test at Martinsville Speedway on March 12 – 13.
"The reason we went this route is because the truck is the most similar to the COT and it is very sensitive to how the other cars around you, where they are and what they're doing to your car," Speed said. "This is kind of the method behind our madness here."
Speed's foray into NCTS racing is part of a development program aimed at getting the Red Bull driver ready for top-level competition in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. He will continue his run for the championship racing full-time in the 2008 ARCA RE/MAX Series under the wing of Eddie Sharp Racing.
