NASCAR creates ‘overtime line’ in new rules finish
Plus, it’s a great chance for Vickers to get acclimated to drafting before Daytona 500 practices.
“As soon as I got the call they said, ‘Can you race?’ and I said absolutely”, Vickers said Friday during a press conference.
Vickers’ moment is preceded by Tony Stewart’s misery.
Unlike Busch, whose injuries were the result of hitting a concrete wall unprotected by SAFER barrier, Stewart’s injury is a result of recreational activity – he suffered a burst fracture of the L1 vertebra when a sand rail he was driving on the West Coast near the California-Arizona border landed wrong. I did tell myself I was going to race again someday.
An interim driver for the No. 14 team in the races following Daytona has not been determined.
“At the same time, NASCAR also announced that it has chose to make Tony Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet eligible to race while NASCAR Executive Vice President & Chief Racing Development Officer Steve O’Donnell also stated, “(Brian) Vickers is medically cleared”.
The fine print in the short-term contract reveals that Vickers has his own health issues. Based on last year’s two races with the rules at Kentucky and Darlington as well as a recent test at Vegas, there are high hopes from the competitors that lower downforce will lead to better racing, which is music to many fans’ ears.
The update also introduces Party Play, a new split-screen multiplayer mode that works with Apple TV and Android TV to bring back retro-style head-to-head racing on the same screen. He wasn’t allowed to compete while undergoing treatment for the clots since doctors said that the blood thinners were likely to increase the risk of internal bleeding if he crashes or gets into an accident. NASCAR also reduced the number of G-W-C attempts at Talladega previous year for the October race to one in an effort to balance an exciting finish with safety for all competitors. “The last five or six years of my life have been like on a roller-coaster, to say the least”, Vickers said.
Naturally, all of this means you’ll have to download Real Racing 3 to enjoy any of it, but you can do that for free by heading to the iOS App Store or Google Play right now. “I just went over one and just nose-planted into the bottom of it. It was about a 20- to 25-foot drop”. “For those guys to recognize mostly our team for that accomplishment was really a big deal to me and I thought it was a huge honor”. He has 318 career Cup starts, with three victories and 29 Top 5s. “I never thought about him. Unfortunately, I can understand what he is going through”. If the vehicle is running fifth, Brian will run fifth.
“It’s nice to be able to take something negative on my side and be able to do something positive for somebody else with it”, Stewart said.
“We are doing much better”, Stewart said on the video.
