Red Bull dark horse

There will be a number of ringers at Infineon Raceway this weekend for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway.
A.J. Allmendinger may be the lightest of the dark horses.
He comes from the Champ Car World Series and won five races -- all on road or street courses -- in his three years there.
None of his 40 races in the Champ Car World Series were at Infineon Raceway and won all five of his races in his final year on the series in 2006.
“Road racing is what I’ve grown up doing, and what I’m most comfortable doing,” says Allmendinger, driver of the No. 84 Toyota for Team Red Bull. “These guys have been doing this for a while, so I don’t know if I will bring anything to the table against someone like Jeff Gordon. But, I’ll definitely be more comfortable driving a stock car this weekend than I have been all year.”
