News and Notes
Nov 4
This week: Vickers is still looking for his first top-10 finish at Texas. In 10 starts at the track, his best finish is 12th, which came in his Cup debut at the facility. He has one pole there. "We just haven't run as well there as we do at most of the other mile-and-a-halfs," he said.
Last week: Vickers ran in the top 10 for much of the race before ending up 13th in the final two-lap shootout. "We had a good car, but things got pretty wild there at the end and we got shuffled back," said Vickers, who admitted "the middle part of the race was a little boring. It was probably the most yawning that I've done during a superspeedway race."
Etc.: Vickers was among a number of drivers who wondered what the intent was of NASCAR's decision to forbid bump-drafting in the corners. "If the intent was to prevent a crash, obviously it's not going to do that," said Vickers. "We crash as much in the straightaway here (Talladega) as we do in the corner. We crashed just as much today on the straightaway as we've ever done, and the new rule was in place."
