He was supposed to retire last year, but with Kurt Busch being let go along with other sponsorship concerns, Jack Roush asked him to stay one more year. Now theres rumors going around that hes gonna drive for Robert Yates...only time will tell.

He signed with MB2!? What's up with that?

In my opinion, the wreck was just a racing deal. Vickers is getting crucified for no good reason.

Yeah, it was one of those racing deals, but at least act like you're sorry. Dounuts in the grass after you spun out 2 cars to win? I was like, "oh... no... he... didn't".

Re: Anyone for Talladega Oct 8th???

Well, I finally made it back yesterday...yep, it was pretty crazy. I was so excited that my boy Dale Jr was on his way to win the race (not to mention that I was going to win $120 bux by having Jimmy Johnsons name in the pool)...then that idiot Vickers takes out the both of them. Oh man, everyone was PISSED. At first I thought it was Johnsons doing until I saw the replay, but after I saw that, it looked pretty intentional on Vickers part. As for Martin...I was glad to see him win the first Dega truck race, it was a great show. I was hoping to see him in the trucks next year, but hey he'll do good over at MB2.

You thought Vickers did it intentionaly? Wow. I don't think that he is that good of a driver to do something like that. They showed it from every angle like 10 times on TV and it just looked like he never let up when he was getting behind JJ. He was getting sucked up into Jr's draft and then went with JJ, and tapped him into Jr. Sad. I'm glad he's leaving Hendricks. The 25 has always been the underdog in the Hendricks camp, so it's good to see it win, but still.

I think what makes it a little more funny for me is that my wife is a JJ fan. Kinda by default, because she works at Lowe's, and she can wear JJ stuff at work. You should have seen the look on her face when I showed her the last couple of laps. Anyone else a JJ fan?
Go Schrader!

Vickers should have changed lanes exactly when JJ did. That could have been JJ's fault (for not telling him when he was going), or it could have been Vicker's fault. I highly doubt it was intentional. JJ slowed because from losing the draft and Vicker's didn't.

The 25 has always been an underdog. Ricky Craven once said (right after he was fired from Hendrick) that the 25 was the "test car" for the 24 and 5. Since Vickers is walking away, I bet that is still true.

Yeah, just a car to help on restrictor plate races to get to the front... not to spin you out and win. LOL. Ricky's right, and it was the case when Kenny drove that # also. I guess every team needs a car to train the next guy.
