==Career==
===Before Formula One===
===2006===
In his debut race, the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix, he finished 13th. In the came the worst race of his career. In that race, he finished 8th from a lowly 18th on the grid, but Speed was controversially stripped of what should have been his first World Championship point, and the first for an American driver since 1993, when he overtook under yellow flags and had 25 seconds added to his race time, dropping him to 9th. Because of this, David Coulthard inherited 8th place and the World Championship point. Understandably furious at the decision, Speed also swore at Coulthard during the post-race stewards meeting and was fined $5000.
Speed retired from the Spanish, British and United States Grands Prix(in which Nick Heidfeld did a quadruple flip in USA), but finished his remaining races.
===2007===
Speed raced for again for the 2007 season but was replaced by Sebastian Vettel following the following an altercation with team principal Franz Tost in which Tost was alleged to have assaulted Speed, something which Tost has vehemently denied. Speed was released from his contract as a result.
===After Formula One===
He moved on to NASCAR in 2008 and stayed until 2013. In 2015 he moved to Formula E and stayed for 1 season. He now most likely races in the Americas Rallycross Championship.
