Red Bull Racing Vice President and General Manager Jay Frye will travel to Austria next week for his semi-annual meeting with his team owner and sponsor’s upper management. During that time, Frye said he will try to nail down a number of details for 2010, including a deal with an automaker, a contract for Brian Vickers and, possibly, a new major associate sponsor for the team. Red Bull is the final year of its deal with Toyota.
Frye said on Friday at Chicagoland Speedway that “they’ve (Toyota) been a great partner and it’s our intention to try and go forward with them.” But he also said that talks on a new deal have been ongoing for more than a year and that the team is talking with Chevy as well. Frye said the team absolutely intends to re-sign Vickers.
Somebody please tell me how you can get 5 pole this season with toyota an switch to chevy. This makes no sense at all.
well JGR is probably the top Toyota team and RedBull might feel inferior. Like Howie said, 5 poles, so what’s the problem?
Hey, if they go chevy and don’t resign Speed, maybe McMurray will have a new ride. I hope they do go chevy though, toyota sucks.
