Scott Speed

The 30-year-old driver crossed the 100-start plateau in 2012. Speed spent most of last season racing with the small Leavine Family Racing team in the No. 95 Ford. He is signed to return for a 20-race schedule in the upcoming season. The team is primarily a start-and-park operation, but the hope is that funding will improve in 2013 and Speed will be able to better compete. The part-time status and limited resources of this team fall short of Speed’s driving ability, so the upside is very limited.
