Either Scott Speed's got more energy than the average human being, or he loves living off of a adrenaline rush.
It seems that after surviving a weekend of double duty at the historic Martinsville Speedway, known for its beating and banging, he still wants more.
So he's heading to Dallas, Texas where, on Tuesday, he's learning how to bull ride.
But he's smart enough to learn from the best, four-time World Champion Bull Rider, Tuff Hedeman. He sure is excited by it. But he's crazy; I've been to enough Rodeo's to know the Bulls don't play nice.
Now I hope they show some footage of his adventure on the NCTS Setup or ESPN's Pre Race Show for Sprint Cup next weekend at Atlanta.
The picture below is of Tuff, on the baddest bull of them all—the one they call Bodacious.

I like Scott too... that jacket he was wearing in the post race interview was priceless!
Pink bubbles on his jacket with blue toenails... He should definitely shake things up in NASCAR.
Watch out when this guy finds his footing, hopefully he will find his footing.

He's going to be just what we need as fans to keep it interesting and sure Red Bull's will be patient with him. They have a fortune tied up in him, from the F1 side and from what I've seen so far they could recoup back with his success.

In all reality, 30th place only three laps down, in your first race, and at Martinsville ain't half bad.
But on the flip side, Allmendinger gave the 10 car a 15th place finish. He still has some noise to make too.
Looking forward to Scott though.

The sad thing about AJ was the team offered him a one year deal, he turned it down saying another team offered a three year deal. Had he agreed to race for Red Bull in '09, Speed would be in the No. 82 and have a harder time getting his feet wet needing to qualify.
Looks like what AJ said, may have fallen apart or he was trying to get a better deal with the TRB and with the economy the way it is if it's me I'd have stayed put. Really it helps Speed, since his goal in '08 is run laps, keep the car in the Top 35 and build a relationship with the 84 Crew.
