We didn't know if ovals would be CDM's cup of tea, or Mansell's or Emerson's or Bourdais', or Cheever's, or Helio's, or Graham Hill's, or Jim Clark's or any number of folks that have the same sort of racing background. They all seemed to do ok...
With the IRL adding circuit/street venues, and with that series being no better (or worse) off than the other series, the IRL would appear to be just as viable an option. Further, you already have someone with Red Bull money (R. Doornbos) in CC with essentially the same background as Speed (lighter on the F1 race starts, for sure) who could easily be considered for the NHL ride.
I don't recall seeing anywhere that Speed has ruled out ovals or even commented on them one way or the other.
