I just saw an interview with Mike Bliss on Nascar Nation. He was asked about him and Vickers. have they made up? still holding a grudge?
He said, that 'he's not holding a grudge, but he's not forgetting either. He doesnt want to say anything about Hendricks. he respects Hendricks a whole lot, they are a great team. But he's going to keep that in his memory for a long while, but he doesn't want to do anything to hurt the Hendrick team.'
Just my take on it, but it sure sounded like he was campaigning to maybe get a shot with the Hendrick boys.
His team uses a lot of Hendrick equipment and technology. He doesn't want to hurt Haas CNC Racing's relationship with Hendrick Motorsports, because he wouldn't have a ride if Hendrick didn't help that team out.
