Car: Number 83 Toyota
Team: Red Bull Racing
Sponsor: Red Bull Energy Drink
Birthdate: October 24, 1983
Rookie Season: Started five races in 2003 with no top ten finishes. Followed that up with a full season for Hendrick Motorsports in 2004 where he managed four top ten finishes while finishing second in rookie points to Kasey
Kahne.
Career Highlights: 2003 - First full Busch Series campaign. Scored 21 top tens and 3 wins on his way to the Busch Series Championship.
2004 - First full NEXTEL Cup campaign winning 2 poles and scoring 4 top ten finishes.
2006 - First NEXTEL Cup Win (Talladega)
2007 - Left Hendrick Motorsports to go to Red Bull Racing and Toyota.
Unlimited Potential: Brian Vickers entered NEXTEL Cup racing in 2004 fresh off of his 2003 Busch Series Championship. When you take the Busch Champ and put him in a Hendrick Motorsports ride you should expect big things. So far in his career Brian Vickers hasn't delivered.
What does the future hold for Vickers? I still believe that he's talented, but he never found the elusive "chemistry" with Hendrick Motorsports. Now that he has left Hendrick for Toyota will see whether or not Brian Vickers can reach his potential.
