Red Bull Will Help Scott Speed in NASCAR - Marko

Red Bull's motorsports guru Helmut Marko says that the company would be happy to help Scott Speed kick start a NASCAR career.

As the man who looks after the company's young drivers, Marko is eager to give Speed a helping hand, after he was dropped following a falling-out with Scuderia Toro Rosso bosses Gerhard Berger and Franz Tost. The former STR driver had some initial discussions with U.S.-based teams last week.

"We are still trying to co-operate with him, but in a different area," Marko told SPEEDtv.com. "NASCAR is a very special form of racing, and even a guy like Montoya,
with all his F1 experience and his Champ Car racing on ovals, can't just jump in and be competitive.

"So, they will look maybe at some Busch races and if that is going well, put him up to the Nextel Cup."

Marko said he hoped also to be able to help the other deposed STR driver, Tonio Liuzzi.

"Tonio, we don't know what his perspectives are, and if we can help somewhere, or in another category, we will have a look at it," the Austrian added.

At the moment, the Italian is still looking at F1 options that won't involve any input from Red Bull.
