Autoracing Betting Lines

12/01/2008 - Mooresville, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Red Bull Racing set its 2009 Sprint Cup Series roster Monday with Ryan Pemberton serving as Brian Vickers' new crew chief and Jimmy Elledge guiding Scott Speed as he runs for rookie of the year honors.

Pemberton joins Vickers' No.83 team after serving as crew chief for David Reutimann at Michael Waltrip Racing in 2008. Reutimann ended the season by winning his first career Sprint Cup pole at Homestead.

Speed, a former Formula One competitor, will drive the No.82 Toyota for Red Bull and start next season locked inside the top-35 in car owner points. He will be guaranteed a starting position in the first five races, including the season-opening Daytona 500.

"We're entering our third Sprint Cup season with driver and crew chief pairings that have what it takes to consistently compete at a high level," team manager Jay Frye said in a statement. "Brian and Ryan are each at a point in their respective careers where they can bring home wins and make a run for the championship. Scott earned his Sprint Cup ride by exceeding our expectations in ARCA and trucks. He has a great asset in Jimmy, who has experience working with both rookies and open-wheel drivers."

Speed will also run a partial schedule in the Nationwide Series next year, driving the No.99 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing.
