Vickers looking to get out of contract? UPDATE: Hearing that Brian Vickers, driver of the #25 GMAC Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports is now looking to get out of his contract with Hendrick after the 2006 season.(6-7-2006)
UPDATE: Hendrick Motorsports has given driver Brian Vickers permission to seek a ride elsewhere in racing. Hendrick spokesman Jesse Essex said Thursday that the driver of the team's #25 GMAC Chevy in the Nextel Cup Series had asked team officials for permission to pursue "employment opportunities outside our operation." Essex said "multiple years" remain on Vickers' contract at Hendrick.
AND rumors have Vickers going to the #88 Robert Yates Racing ride or one of the Red Bull Racing rides.(6-8-2006)

Well I can see Hendrick wanting to get rid of Vickers, but where else can Vickers go that will provide him more resources than Hendrick? If he thinks he can find success at Yates, he's sorely mistaken. He should just race full time in the Busch Series.

So if Vickers leaves, who will fill the #25 car? Well if Casey Mears wants to become a free agent at the end of this season, there is no better place for him to go then this ride here.
