From page B1 easy accomplishment. ... (The team) gave me a great car.� Vickers, who is from Thomasville, N.C., has won eight poles in his career and won a race at Talladega, Ala., in October 2006. At the time of his lone victory, he was at Hendrick Motorsports. Vickers has remained patient at Team Red Bull, a new entry at the time he signed up, as its performance has gradually improved. “I think we’re making gains,� said Vickers. “We’ve been making gains all year. We’ve been making gains since this team was founded. There are times when we’ve made huge gains and times when the gains have been slow. There have been times when we’ve taken a few steps back, but for the most part we’ve always taken more steps forward. “We’ve come so far in such a short amount of years, and hopefully, we can keep going.� Vickers offered a staunch defense of Toyota’s rightful place in NASCAR. “Personally, I didn’t grow up in the Detroit genera-

When you can tell kids that they’re going to get to play UK in Rupp Arena, that has to be a factor.� It won’t be the first trip for Campbellsville into “SECland,� as Adkins likes to call it. The Tigers played Arkansas twice. They’ve also played Western Kentucky, a team that has had consecutive Sweet 16 and Round of 32 seasons the last two years. Shining additional light on an already glimmering situation, the game is believed to be the first public scrimmage by UK against players other than among themselves. “There will be a lot of excitement from fans of both programs,� Adkins said.
