NASCAR Sprint Cup team Red Bull have confirmed that Scott Speed and Brian Vickers will drive their Toyota Camry's next season.
No. 83 driver Brian Vickers will have a new crew chief for his third season with Red Bull Racing Team, as Ryan Pemberton leads Vickers' charge to his first Red Bull victory and a spot in the 2009 Chase.
Teammate Scott Speed will return for his rookie NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. He'll drive the No. 82 Red Bull Toyota under the watch of returning crew chief Jimmy Elledge.
After ruffling fenders in ARCA and the Craftsman Truck Series, Speed graduates to a full-time Sprint Cup ride in 2009. He drove the No. 84 in four races and the No. 83 in one to close last season.
Speed, switching to a silver No. 82, will contend for rookie of the year and start the season locked inside the top 35 in car owner points. He's guaranteed a starting spot in the first five races, including the season-opening Daytona 500.
He'll also run a partial Nationwide Series schedule in the No. 99 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota.
After a two-year stint in the NASCAR garage, the No. 84 retires to the RBRT museum, also known as the race shop in Mooresville, N.C.
