#55-Brian Vickers victory last week could provide a boost to his long-term future at Michael Waltrip Racing. ‘It definitely helped’ Vickers said. ‘How could it not?” Vickers, who won last Sundays Sprint Cup Series race for MWR at New Hampshire, is in discussions with the team about a full-time ride next season. He has been driving part-time for Waltrips team for the past two seasons, and has a full-time ride with Joe Gibbs Racing in the Nationwide Series. Vickers says hes optimistic about a deal coming together because he, Waltrip and sponsor Aarons all want it to happen “ but he knows it would be unwise to assume anything until a contract is in place. Vickers says the team is exploring the possibility of adding other sponsors to help split the bill with Aarons.( Associated Press )
