Here is what Vickers had to say about Sunday's race at his website:

“Considering everything we had to come through it was a decent day to come in 11th. Considering we got in that crash early—a bunch of cars, like a 10-car pileup. I’m not sure what caused the wreck up in front of us. Had a lot of damage on the car, went a lap down and came back from that. The Jet Edge guys did a great job preparing it.  Then there at the end we drove all the way back up to the top-five and blew a left-rear tire. I think we cut it. We had great tire wear and I can’t imagine we wore the left-rear out.  Who knows?  That put us another lap down. Then we came back from that to a solid 11th.”
