official word from brianvickers.com:
In a fairly uneventful race for a majority of the 100 laps of competition at Daytona, Brian Vickers and the No. 32 Dollar General team ran strongly inside the Top 10. However, Vickers reported a tight-handling condition of varying degrees throughout the race and was never able to take point on the field. On lap 76, as green flag pit stops were beginning to cycle through for the leaders, crewchief Trent Owens called Vickers to pit road for his final stop for fuel to make it to the race’s end. It was a routine stop until Brian attempted to pull out of his pit. Initially thought to have stalled his Toyota, Brian quickly came on the radio and reported that something had broken in the drivetrain. "I'm sorry guys," he said, "but I did my normal deal - 1st gear, same rpm, dropped the clutch... something just broke." Once verified, the Dollar General team’s night was over and Vickers was pushed back to the garage, credited with a 37th-place finish.

every stinkin wreck was right around him.
that one with the 31 screwed him.
and freaking mears.. I was watching them going into 3, and I was like "Casey is going to wreck any second.." and then when they get out of 4 I see smoke. i was like friiiiig Brian was right behind him.. but when I looked at the replays is aw him get through.
biggest issue was NASCAR screwing Brian sending him WAY farther back than he shouldve been. he was 15th when the yellow came out.. they are so freaking dumb. whatever. he rallyed back pretty good.

Maybe it's a coincidence, but they seem to be doing that to Brian a lot recently...putting him farther back in the field than he should be.
