Vickers uninvited to Hendrick's post-practice meetings

Golly, Gee wizz I wonder why.


KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) - Brian Vickers, who is jumping from Hendrick Motorsports to Red Bull Racing after this season, said Friday that he has been uninvited to Hendrick's post-practice meetings.

Nasty, Nasty bunch of people.




"It's been going on for a while now," Vickers said after qualifying fourth for Sunday's Banquet 400. "I didn't really make a note of when it happened, so I couldn't tell you when."



Jimmie Johnson, another Hendrick driver, said Vickers had handled the situation professionally - but also understood the team's position.
"Brian's still heavily involved, but as we all know, there are few secrets in this sport. To have someone that is leaving and going to another race team involved with some of the detailed conversations about some of the cars and technology, wouldn't be smart on behalf of Hendrick Motorsports."

Hey, HMS cant start spilling info so Red Bull can benefit. Thats why Waltrip went after Vickers, cause he knew Vickers can give them lots of info on technology and special techniques. Thats also why Toyotas snatching guys from Big teams.

Seems like it is a mutual agreement that each will just do what needs to be done for the rest of the season.

Yeah Toyota wants to get as much information on all of the makes in the sport Dodge, Ford, and Chevrolet to try and get a little edge and gain some knowledge on set ups for the races, why dont they just check there fortune cookies.
