It started about a year ago..
The Open win was controversial, obviously, so there was so heated discussion on TV and on the net about it. It got me frustrated.. so I made this:
Okay.. so I thought it would stop, and as he led the 600, it pretty much did. Then.. the wreck happened. Bummer for me indeed. I was at a lock in at my church, I was shocked watching it.. my friend called me and I sort of wandered off from the party activites for a bit. Anyway, afterwards there was more heat on Brian, tons of negative press surrounding him, it was pretty unfair what was going on, so I took matters into my own hands. At the time, I was a writer for some sites, I wrote an article called 'Vickers under Fire' about how he was being somewhat abused in the media.
I also e-mailed Mike Joy, a broadcaster on NASCAR on FOX and dueled with him a bit on the issue.Our 'argument' lasted about a week, he did apologize for saying Brian was in jeopardy of losing hi ride at Hendrick, he went back and checked with HMS and apologized for getting that wrong.
Mike also read the article I wrote and we went back and forth about that too. So basically thats when I earned my title of "Vickers Hardcore Supporter" since then I've continued to do things like that and then decided to make this site, so others can do it too.
