Sometimes, the name fits perfectly.
Take Scott Speed, for instance.
Speed, 22, is an upstart American race car driver with plans to enter the prestigious Formula One circuit next year. If he makes it, Speed will be the first U.S. driver to compete in Formula One since Michael Andretti ran a limited schedule in 1993.
Last year Speed, who currently races in Grand Prix 2, became the first American to win two European titles in one season -- capturing the German Formula Renault championship and the Eurocup crown, two junior formula series.
In all, he won 13 races last year-- more than any driver in Europe who was racing F/1-style cars and was not named Michael Schumacher.
Gotta love the name.
