Sampling of Speed

From fashion to travel to what he describes as a “methodical” driving style, Scott Speed is unique. And never does Scott Speed the individual shine through more than on Sirius Satellite Radio’s “Tradin’ Paint.”
Every Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET (Sirius channel 128), Speed trades banter with co-hosts Steve Post and Chocolate Myers. If you missed Speed’s first few rounds on “Tradin’ Paint,” visit our audio section at www.redbullracingusa.com for the complete segments. Here’s a sampling of Speed:

On Red Bull: “I have Red Bull in my blood. We just fit so good together.”

On action sports: “When I do something like snowboarding or an extreme sport, because it’s not something I’m used to doing I get a huge adrenaline rush from it. It’s like I’m a 13-year-old kid trying to set the world on fire again.”

On a recent trip to the Dominican Republic: “I have to say it’s been a very intense experience. It’s a very interesting culture, for sure. For example, when we arrived at our hotel Sunday night around 1:30 in the morning, we were downstairs at the casino. And along with the 15 or so hookers that were downstairs there was a guy rolling right past us with a gun in his hand … as he puts it in the back of his pants. I thought that was an extreme introduction to this culture.”

On the Daytona 500: “Normally, I was the one doing the racing. I’ve never been to watch a big race like that. To hang in hospitality and watch it from a spectator point of view, it was amazing. It was an awesome race as well. With Red Bull, we always have a good time, and Daytona was no exception.”
