Allmendinger impresses at Kansas
A.J. Allmendinger doesn’t have long left in the No. 84 Red Bull car. Allmendinger, who is expected to be let go by Red Bull, is now in search of a new job. Last weekend, Allmendinger impressed on the Kansas Speedway at the Camping World RV 400 after finishing in a career-best ninth place overall.
Allmendinger started the race in 14th and moved up to a high of sixth place in the race, yet finished in ninth. “I always feel like I have something to prove, especially when you’re told you might not be the guy that’s going to be back next year,” said Allmendinger after the race.
It’s been rumored that Allmendinger will be replaced by Scott Speed. However, I would expect Allmendinger to land with another team in time for the 2009 Sprint Cup season.

Its a pity that Allmendinger was let go right as he was starting to come to his own. I hope he lands a good ride soon.
I heard Scott Speed was at the test in Charlotte- and that he was fast….I guess we will see how he works out sooner rather than later.

I do not know how long Allmendinger will need to manage a new job, but i think, he has lots of skill and talent in him. So, he may not have much problem in getting a new job.
