Smart Move, Brian
A honest mistake? Perhaps. Blatant disregard for anybody but yourself? Could be. I don't know what was in Brian Vickers' heart when he hit Jimmie Johnson from behind Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, and I'm not his judge and jury, as the Bible tells me. All I can offer is opinion. In an age where money, fame and self are all that's important to most people in the world, Brian Vickers did exactly what a lot of people expected he would do. He hadn't won a race, he was leaving Hendrick Motorsports at the end of the season anyway, so, why not go for the gusto? The consequences could be more than Vickers bargained for. Now, every time he gets introduced at a race, instead of the smattering of applause he might have received, he's going to be greeted with a healthy chorus of boos. You have to remember, not only did he take out Jimmy Johnson, but he also took out everyone's hero, Dale Earnhardt Jr. It's a wonder that fans didn't tear the house down at Talladega. Now I hear that Vickers may have to have extra security this weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway. I hope it was all worth it, Brian. As well all do, you're the one that has to live with the consequences of your actions. But again, in such a self-motivated world, it's the norm. Most people would probably applaud you for what you did. What a shame that is.

I kinda figured that would be the response I would get, considering the way society is today. Jimmie didn't cheat in the 500, just in qualifying. We all know that. He came from the back of the pack to finish up front in his Gatorade Duel, and his car was checked thoroughly after that. His car was checked thoroughly after the 500 as well.  And yeah, violence solves a lot of problems, doesn't it? Jimmie handled the incident with a lot of class, as did Earnhardt Jr. Pretty classless to suggest kicking his @$$$, or vice-versa.

The 48 is a cheater anyway. When you dont play by the rules, you cant complain when someone else may not have...

Live by the sword, die by the sweet sound of the 48 hitting the wall and finishing the race in a manner only a non-champ could.

Bravo Brian. Bravo.
