I think that is a solid grab on Vickers. He is a solid up and coming fellow with Hendricks's Motor sports. Racing his third race at this track (experience is importatnt here) while Blount is racing there for the first time, and this is only his fourth start in a BGN race. Have a good feeling he won't be around in the end. Another interesting fact about this matchup is this little quote I found that Vickers said for today's race.
"Darlington is a tough place to get a hold of," Vickers said. "I've always enjoyed racing there because of the challenges it presents, but never have had the best setup underneath me.
"I told Lance (McGrew, crew chief) this and he said not to worry about it, we've got a good setup and I believe him because it was a very similar situation at Rockingham earlier this year and look where we finished -- eighth."
