@Cooldar92 Health problems. They discovered he had two blood clots and then had to go on blood thinners. You can't race while you're on those. He is taking them for the remainder of this year and had surgery on his heart to solve the clotting problem. He'll be back next year at Daytona. ( :
@Cooldar92 Assuming his crew chief is still Lance McGrew, yes. I don't pay attention much right now. (: Between school, work, and the fact that BV can't race this year...I really don't know.
@supel454 well...you could've just said that. there isn't a whole lot of point in just saying crap. the video is what it is. i never intended it to be some...masterpiece. at the time i had the most basic video editing software in the world. the only clips i could find for the event were poor quality. it's not my favorite either, quite frankly. i'm way too busy with school to contemplate a redo. it was simply a celebration of a long sought win. and there are far worse videos that this out there.
@Blackout690 so have you met him? i would assume not since i have and he's a very lovely person. he's also not the first driver to wreck someone else and he most certainly won't be the last. also, how old are you? name calling is a very junior high thing to do. grow up.
Could have cost his teamate the damn championship How could he celebrate after a win like that. Get out of the car and go straight to JR and Johnson not give a fucking sympathy speech!!!!!!!!!!!
While there are teams racing isn't your typical team sport. Jimmie Johnson winning the championship doesn't mean Brian Vickers did too. Therefore, I would consider winning the race for yourself and your crew more important than protecting your teammate. This is racing- it's about winning. Also, like I've said before, if you follow BV at all you would have known this was accidental. He's not the kind of guy to screw his teammates. He LOST races in the past to help his teammates. Move on, please!
So, he takes out the leaders in this race, and then he intentionally took out Dale Jr. in the 2009 Daytona 500. His actions speak for for him, sorry. Hes a douche.
@Blackout690 Lets just say you're correct and he did do both of these things intentionally (which I don't believe when it comes to his first win). That's two. Two races in his career that he intentionally wrecked someone else. He's been in Cup since 2004. How does that make him a douche? Really? Think about it. Any of the big names- Junior (who's wrecked BV more than once), Jimmie, Gordon, Stewart- they've all wrecked people numerous times. It's a part of the sport. No need for name calling.
he won. this happened back in 2006. get. over. it.
it was a mistake, he's admitted as much. a mistake i would never take back- i was beyond thrilled that he won! every driver has made a mistake, taken someone out, etc, etc. brian is no different. he was still on track when the caution flew and this put him in first place. the nine in no way deserved the win...he wasn't first on the track.
now really, put on your big boy undies and stop crying about a race from three years ago!
i could say i'll always dislike jimmie for some of the crap he's pulled, but i'll refrain.
and while kyle may not be a personal favorite of mine, i sure do find him entertaining. the sport needs a little personality anymore, even in the form of a "bad guy".
brian vickers sucks........he's in hendrick cars and in 1 race he actually manages to take out his teammate and jr for a win.......he could out drive me any day of the week but when it comes to dale jr and jj.....he has to wreck them to beat them...........he was fired for a good reason
he wasn't fired. he asked to be let out of his contract early.
i never claimed he was better than jimmie. junior is a different story. not much you can say there, seeing how BV sits 17th in points and Jr. is in 20th [with the best equip. in nascar, i might add.]
i've watched bv race for many, many years. he's not an aggresive driver. i can name instances where both Jr and JJ took BV out in a race, once for the win.
get your facts straight before you comment. please and thanks.
I'm not a brian vickers fan, but he is a talented driver. if he can have that many good runs in a RED BULL car, he could definately win if hendrick resigned him. hendrick could put him in the 5 car in a few years when mark retires. or if jr. keeps sucking like he has been, but something tells me hendrick's fan base would drop if he booted jr. in my mind, he is the second unluckiest driver in nascar behind jamie mcmurray.
i think mcmurray would do good away from rousch fenway. i mean look at how many big wrecks hes been in. itll be easier to count how many he wasnt in since he started. jamie is one of my faves :)
Brian Vickers is an awesome driver. He should probably have a couple of wins by now. I'm sure that Talladega win didn't come the way Brian wanted, though.
well fair enough but are we going to hold that against them and call for them to leave the sport even though they make it more exciting by putting on some cracking races? i dont think so,they werent even participating in motorsport in 1955,personally i feel that their current success shows they deserve to stay,like i said its not an American spec series
if the big three are making all these jobs, why is detroit in such bad shape?
i live in michigan and find myself in d-town often. believe me, they aren't much help.
don't get me wrong, i love GM. i drive a pontiac sunfire currently. i want to upgrade to the G6. i love corvettes. i've been in love with the new camaro since it was just a drawing. i preferred it when BV raced a chevy, but there's not much i can do about it. i'm not gonna hate on a driver because of his manufacturer.
i think you're implying i edited this to make it look like bv was innocent?
not the case. the clips are from speed tv and show in their entirety.
bv made a mistake at talladega, no doubt about it. it happens though. he's apologized. and goodness, jimmie's certainly deserved it for all the crap he put bv through at the spring dega race.
but, no, i didn't edit this to make it look like it was jj's fault. =]
i see you are upset that Toyota are getting involved in "your" sport....maybe with your mentality then F1 shouldnt promote the new USF1 team that is coming soon? c'mon guys why would you hate a team because its not American? there is nowhere it says American spec car racing,it is American stock car racing...the American there stands for the location of the series not the brand of the cars....its a sport and you should embrace anything that makes your sport even more exciting and Toyota does that
for starters, toyota makes more American jobs than gm, chrysler, and ford combined. so get over that.
second, everyone makes mistakes, like jr's on sunday. like bv's in 2006. when you make one, you should apologize. like bv did and like jr has yet to do. i believe jr was frustrated and made a mistake. just say sorry.
but if your going to still hold 06 against bv and call it payback, keep this in mind: las vegas 2006, jr took out bv not too far in. so he's no innocent...
I think Brian's attempt to win didn't exactly go the way he wanted it. I think he would have rather had Jimmie win and he second than that crash... Oh Well...
im sorry that jr got caught in this, but jimmie has always been a dick to brian. ive seen so many times where he leaves that bitch out to dry after vickers pushes his ass the whole race. i think it was in the bucsh race the day before this
Really? So where did I get all my autographs from? His twin?
To the rest of you- your opinion doesn't really matter, because no matter how much complaining you do, he still has the win. After coming so close so many times, it didn't matter how it happened, it felt good.
Dude...whoever it was that said Brian won't sign autographs is friggin nuts! I've met Brian and got his autograph every year sine 2003 without having a ticket to a signing or anything like that. If he doesn't sign, how did I get that? You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
And OMG I can't believe you Jimmie and Junior fans are STILL whining about Brian winning that race! It was almost a year ago! Get the hell over it! Brian won. They lost. He has the hardware, and they've all moved on. Why can't you?
Lol Brian Vickers sucksass he should just quit nascar period in fact he should just quit life cuz hes never ever gunna win again especially now that hes driving a toyota. pretty sad he had to take out his own teamate and dale jr to win.
@Cooldar92 Health problems. They discovered he had two blood clots and then had to go on blood thinners. You can't race while you're on those. He is taking them for the remainder of this year and had surgery on his heart to solve the clotting problem. He'll be back next year at Daytona. ( :

they've been in trouble my entire life. perhaps a bit worse now, as is everyone. this isn't just the credit crunch...
honestly, i think it's the union that killed the big three. too much pay and benefits for a, let's face it, simple job.
people got too demanding.
all that aside, i can tell you it didn't hurt my feelings when busch and hamlin got taken out. =]
