MILLER: Allmendinger Set to Hop the NASCAR Money Train
snip~
It's that NASCAR Money Train, and it's about to derail the best thing that's happened to Champ Car in this decade.
We know the scenario: A.J. has a personal-service contract with Red Bull, and the energy drink is partners with Toyota in their entree into NASCAR. They love the cocky Californian, especially after his impressive showings in two Craftsman Truck races recently, and apparently they're throwing big money his way.
How big? Well, CSS Stellar Management (A.J.'s representatives) was asking Gerry Forsythe for $3 million a year to keep the kid he picked up off the unemployment line back in June.
Forsythe, who had offered Allmendinger a five-year contract with incentives and wanted his signature before this weekend, rejected that figure and basically stated they were too far apart to even continue negotiating.
That was a week ago, and everybody is pretty quiet on both sides. A.J. claims he hasn't signed anything, yet his fiancée told friends on Wednesday night, "We're going to NASCAR."
And nobody on his Forsythe crew seems to think he'll be back.
