Reply-to:She spent time in New York with her mom while Brian was in Darlington

So why mention that/ He hasn't mentioned having a gf and there are no pics of them together recently. She doesn't show up for his races.

Reply-to:What was bv in darlington for? He was not even racing.

It is his favorite racetrack. He was watching Mark race

Reply-to:So it seems that Jess was helping orphans instead of watching NASCAR. What a horrible person.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=274715792602676&set=a.274714289269493.63006.118234691584121&type=3&theater

It doesn't mean she was there the weekend of the race. She could of been there earlier in March. I did see a brunette not far from BV when Bob was interviewing him. She was wearing a beige or cream colored top and pants, holding a bag or purse. Not sure if she was waiting on him or if she was waiting on someone else. It could of been Don's wife but not sure. We don't even know if he is still dating her or even if he ever was dating her. They may just be friends and he invited her to a few functions.

Reply-to:She was there when he did the dollar general breast cancer car. At least that is what people mentioned on here. There was a brunette on the pit box.

that was his marketing manager"s wife,I saw a picture of the women that was not her(jess)

I did not see this jess at all last year at the tracks

Reply-to:Why was he in vegas? He is not driving tomorrow. I guess she came for the drinks.

nobody said he was in vegas!

Reply-to:Im wondering if he is still seeing her!

He definately never posts stuff about her like he did with Erin. I guess we will find out when he races those few races. We can see if she is standing next to him. Isn't that dumb blog she does turning into a movie soon (gag!) and she might be too busy to actually support him at a race or two or claim she is sick like last year.

Reply-to:He got the ride 6 races

He held out for a six race deal over getting back into the 83 or 93??? We will see what happens, but if he goes off and wrecks everyone at the short tracks again, then I think he might be finished in Nascar. I would hope the gf would turn up for his races since she only has to put BV first for six races instead of her social drinking.

Reply-to:I think he still is,he seems to be in NYC alot lately

How do we know he is in NY alot lately. He rarely posts on Twitter and FB. No one seems to be talking about him at all. I think they have already forgotten about him.

Reply-to:New pic and no jessica http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/driver-brian-vickers-poses-for-a-photo-during-the-john-news-photo/140142234

but the pic was taken in NYC so you can be sure that she is not that far away,plus she has some foundation thing tonite bet he's there with her

Sorry I still think common sense would have been when he saw a top team ride wasn't coming his way even in NW he would have taken even a newer team to remain relevant. And to the poster who posted about the new young guys you are right they are with good teams. I don't think his demo derby driving display at the end of last season hasn't helped either.

Reply-to:Younger/ less experienced drivers are getting rides simply because they will take ANY ride to try and prove themselves.  My guess is Brian doesnt want to waste his time with a team that wont be a long term commitment.  Yes, time away from a ride is not ideal,  but most of the teams taking on new drivers seem like flash-in-the-pan teams.  I would be surprised if any of them were still around the next few years.  With that said, I hope he finds something hes confident with soon.

Cole is with JR Motorsports which is a good team, Ricky is with Roush and the others with Childress. The 83 and 93 are with a new team and I actually think over time they will get better. Now, they may not be getting paid as much as BV would want to be paid and that could be  why he turned them down. If he had been driving like Kasey last year then I could see him holding out a little bit, but he didn't do that great so I really think it is more ego. We will see what happens, but I think he made a mistake. JMO

Reply-to:Yep something is better than nothing.

I guess he doesn't realize that. I wonder if Jessica talked him out of it.

Yep something is better than nothing.

Reply-to:It doesnt really matter how good a driver he is if he isnt offered a job or thinks hes too good to turn down the ones he is offered the bottom line is he wont be racing this year. At this point one would think if he really wanted to drive he would take anything he could get. A year totally out of the sport and hell be irrelevant and never get a ride again let alone a good one. Theres too many guys out there fighting for them.

exactly, with the Dillon brothers, Stenhouse, Bayne, the younger Truex, Cole Whitt and some of these up and coming guys who have proven themselves with good results on the track, it is very very tough. I totally agree with BV being out a year he will be in trouble getting something.

Reply-to:No that RB team is a low tier team,Brian is so much better as a driver

That is the point. Why is he holding out for a higher tier team when he couldn't even break the top 20 last year. I just don't understand it. He really made a huge mistake and will end up only if he is lucky with sponsorship to get a few rides this year in the 33. I don't think he can even compete for a championship if he doesn't run the full schedule. It will be hard for him to find something for 2013 unless he buys his own team.

Don't think he turned it down I don't think it was offered wishful thinking on his part.

Reply-to:There was some talk that whats left of the former RB tam was going to add another car and his name was mentioned as a possible for that ride along with about 10 others.

Yes, the former RB team is having Landon Casill and one other driver, but it was mentioned on Race Hub that BV turned them down. One excuse was not enough time to prepare and another was he was getting paid enough for that ride. Not sure why he would turn that offer down. So far, no one has been named for that second car. Could be he was in talks with them and that is why he mentioned "hectic" weeks in his tweet. Maybe he finally lowered his price!!

The thing is he says he turned them down the word is wishful thinking on his part no one has offered him anything.

Reply-to: I agree I would have thought so too. I may be wrong but I think he has a pretty big ego maybe he cant get past that to realize what his real value is as a driver in todays market. It is puzzling.

I was thinking no one was asking him to ride with them and then on Race Hub they  mentioned he turned them down. I was just shocked that he would do that in todays markets. Rookie drivers are getting rides and he isn't. Just crazy. It must be his ego. He gets money from his investment stuff so it is just crazy to turn down a full time ride that is guaranteed racing position for the first five races. You are right, that is puzzling!

 I agree I would have thought so too. I may be wrong but I think he has a pretty big ego maybe he can't get past that to realize what his "real" value is as a driver in today's market. It is puzzling.

Reply-to:I think he thinks hes worth more than he really is in todays current market.

I guess so, but when there aren't any Sprint rides available and probably just a few Nationwide rides then I would think just getting a ride would be the first thing. I would of thought just doing a one year contract and then maybe if he actually does well this year he could ask for more next year and get a multi-year contract. Just a thought since he came in so far down in points last year.

Reply-to:I watched Race Hub last night and RB was sold to a few investors that are calling themselves BK Racing. The one reporter mentioned that BV was approached but turned down the offer. They werent sure if they didnt offer enough money or if it was other reasons. I cant believe he would turn down a ride when there arent any rides available. They are looking at Landon Castill in one car and talking to other drivers about the second car. They say BV might be in a couple of Nationwide races next year...can I just say he is crazy...it makes it sound like he doesnt really want to race fulltime.

I think he thinks he's worth more than he really is in today's current market.
