That didn't take long now did it ? source: paddocktalk.com - rumors Champ Car star driver, and second in season points A.J. Allmendinger is racing this weekend in the NASCAR Truck series event in New Hampshire. Yesterday, he had a good run in practice. Qualified 32nd out of 37 following a crash on his second lap of the run. Yet... The SPEED broadcast team wanted to mention that Allmendinger is being courted for a Toyota Nextel Cup ride for next season. The PaddockTalk Perspective: Maybe its true, maybe not. But we would say its way premature for such speculation. And yes, Red Bull is a backer of Allmendinger. And yes, Red Bull is making a big investment into NASCAR next season, but they are also making said to be sponsoring at least one car in Champ Car. So for now... our take is this... It's way too early for this kind of talk, especially for an open-wheel veteran whose Truck seemed like 'driving a race car for the first time'.
