Another Wreckfest at Talledega
In the "what the Sam Hill was Brian Vickers thinking" department:
That was short term thinking of the highest order. Yes, he got his Nextel Cup win. Yes, it will help him with Red Bull.
No, he will never get another break from any driver in Hendrick livery, despite his comments on the departed Ricky Hendrick from Victory Lane.
It was high drama of the NASCAR variety.
ps--if AJ Allemendinger does get a brain cramp and come to NASCAR's Red Bull program, he'll suffer a similar fate as did Michael Andretti, Cristiano da Matta, and to some extent, Juan Pablo Montoya during their move "up" to Formula One.
