NEXTEL CUP: Apparently Brian Vickers didn't get the memo....
You know, the one saying that it's OK for Earnhardt to spin you out on the final lap, but not the other way around.
And because he didn't get the memo, he needs extra security this weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - Lowe's Motor Speedway is beefing up security for driver Brian Vickers after angry race fans called the track to complain that Vickers wrecked Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson on the last lap at Talladega.
Beaming in victory lane, Vickers didn't do much to calm people down, using the standard "I hate that it happened...." line. Talk about rubbing a little salt into the wound.
''I got into Jimmie and I hate it,'' Vickers said. ''The last thing I wanted to do was wreck either one of those guys, but what happened, happened. It wasn't intentional.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
What a great way to let yourself off the hook for something bad.....
"I hate that I robbed that guy's house and stole all his stuff..."
"I hate that I had an affair with my best friend's wife.... It wasn't intentional."
How convenient.
Seriously, though, NASCAR couldn't really do anything about Vickers' win after it has established time and time again that just about anything goes in the final laps.
In Cup, take-outs are racin'.
