Vickers Unsure of 2012 Plans

With the health conditions seemingly behind him and Chase prospects, for now, looking dim, the most intriguing story surrounding Vickers and Red Bull Racing is whether they will remain together in 2012. "I haven't made any decisions yet. I like Red Bull. I've enjoyed my time there as a Red Bull brand. I think I fit the brand and the brand fits me. There's no doubt about that. It is a high energy, be yourself, love life, extreme athlete, extreme sport kind of brand. And they allow me to do the things that I love to do and that is great," said Vickers in a phone interview with News/Talk WSB.

"Most importantly, we've got to win races and I think that is what we both want. And hopefully we can both figure that out together and I can finish my career out at Red Bull. If we can't, then there's other options on the table and maybe we'll look at those. For right now, I'm committed to Red Bull and to this season and that's where my focus is as of right now."

A possible factor in Vickers' decision may be who Red Bull Racing picks as his teammate next season. "Obviously, Kasey Kahne is going to be gone next season and we're going to have to fill that car. It's definitely going to be an interesting year for Red Bull Racing." WSB Atlanta
