NASCAR Sprint Cup Series veteran Brian Vickers is known for his daredevil antics, but he had never swum with sharks, at least not until his arrival in Atlanta, Georgia, ahead of the Labour Day race next weekend...
“It was interesting,” said Vickers, of his foray into Atlanta's giant aquarium. “Diving with sharks in downtown Atlanta was not on the list, but when presented with the opportunity it quickly become top of the list!

"Not only is this one of my favourite race tracks to be at, but having an opportunity to come here and swim in a tank like this with these kind of fish, with whale sharks and many other sharks along with a lot of other species of fish, it’s something that quickly moved up the list! You never know what will be next!"
Vickers can't wait for the night race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on September 4. "I think it’s one of the best races we have on the circuit. It's an incredible surface -- the pavement surface is old, worn out, slick and very fast and it makes us really have to drive the cars from the top all the way down to the bottom."

“I love coming to Atlanta at night and just being in night races. There’s just something about the sparks flying in the lights and everything that makes night racing good in my opinion.”
