Autoracing Betting Lines
05/13/2010 - Dover, DE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR driver Brian Vickers will miss this weekend's Sprint Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway after being hospitalized for an undisclosed medical condition, Red Bull Racing officials announced on Thursday.
Vickers, 26, was hospitalized Wednesday night and continues to undergo testing and further evaluation.
Casey Mears will replace Vickers in the No.83 Toyota at Dover.
"It is unfortunate that I will not be able to participate in the Dover race," Vickers said in a statement. "Casey is a good friend of mine, and I know he will do his best for the No.83 team this weekend."
Vickers, the 2003 Nationwide Series champion, currently is 20th in Sprint Cup points. He finished 10th last Saturday at Darlington. Last year, Vickers made the championship chase for the first time since joining Cup full-time in 2004. He has driven for Red Bull since 2007. Prior to that, he drove for Hendrick Motorsports.
"Our main concern right now is with Brian and his health and recovery," Red Bull Racing vice president and general manager Jay Frye said. "All things are looking good at the moment. This is just a minor setback. We appreciate Casey filling in this weekend and know he will represent the team well."
Vickers has recorded two victories and 50 top-10 finishes in 219 Cup starts. His first career win came in October 2006, his final year with Hendrick. Vickers gave Red Bull its first victory in the series last August at Michigan.
