Allmendinger out at Red Bull Racing

Sep 23, 2008 - 1:59 PM MOORESVILLE, North Carolina (Ticker) -- AJ Allmendinger is looking for a new ride.

Allmendinger and Red Bull Racing have agreed to part ways for the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, the team announced Tuesday.

He is currently in his second NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season driving the No. 84 Red Bull Toyota Camry, which currently sits 34th in owners' points.

"AJ is a talented driver and we really enjoyed working with him," Red Bull Racing general manager Jay Frye said. "He's come a long way in just two years and we wish him nothing but the best."

In an effort to continue the development of the No. 84 team, veteran Mike Skinner will drive the Red Bull Toyota during this week's Lowe's Motor Speedway open test.

Skinner has been called upon by Red Bull Racing on multiple occasions since the team's 2006 NSCS entrance, including a five-race stint in the No. 84 earlier in the 2008 season.

Red Bull Racing will make an announcement regarding the 2009 driver lineup at a later date.
