Allmendinger Leaving Red Bull

A.J. Headed to Ganassi
It looks like A.J. Allmendinger will be out of the No. 84 Red Bull Toyota - possibly before the end of the year.
Allmendinger is headed to Chip Ganassi’s No. 41 Dodge in 2009.
A former open wheel star, Allmendinger has struggled so far in NASCAR, but his performance seemed to be improving in the second half of this year. Compare that to his Champ Car stats, where he has 6 wins in just 39 starts.
Still, Allmendinger has just one top 10 for the year - a 10th place finish at Indianapolis.
I’m not sure if this is a good move for Allmendinger. Red Bull seems to be a team on the rise while Chip Ganassi racing continues to struggle. However, rumors continue to circulate that Ganassi will merge his operation with another race team - possibly Michael Waltrip Racing.
