Let me state first, that I don’t like the title “Worst” when it refers to individuals. “Most disappointing” or “Biggest under-achiever” would be a better description than “Worst”.

But, that said, Red Bull Racing’Scott Speed had the worst year of any of the full-timers in Sprint Cup 2009.

Big things were either expected or hoped for Speed. But the ultimate in poor showings was the road course race at Sonoma, where Scott failed to qualify his red Bull Toyota and had to buy a ride to get in. The NASCAR race statistics show that wasn’t the only time that happened.

But for an ex-Formula 1 pilot, it was mui disappointing.
