NASCAR Busch Series Champion Brian Vickers will make a special appearance at the National Automobile Dealers Association's (NADA) Conference and Expo in Las Vegas.

Vickers will appear at the General Motors Acceptance Corp. (GMAC) booth #1301, from 10:30 a.m. until noon on Sunday, Feb. 1.

For the first time in his young Busch Series career, Vickers, a Thomasville, N.C., native, was behind the wheel for a full 2003 season as driver of the No. 5 GMAC Financial Services Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Prior to joining Hendrick Motorsports, Vickers ran a limited schedule during the last two seasons.

Despite being just 20 years old, two years removed from high school and the youngest full-time competitor in the Busch Series, Vickers has already assembled a diverse and distinguished trophy case.

His track record dates back to 1994 when he was just 10 years old. That's when he began racing go-karts and achieving a considerable amount of success. Before graduating to the Allison Legacy Cars Series in 1998, Vickers left go-karts a three-time national champion and accumulated 83 career victories.

The awards continued to pile up as Vickers progressed through the ranks. While in the Allison Legacy Cars Series, he captured five wins in just one season before advancing to NASCAR's Weekly Racing Series where the level of competition increased significantly as he began to race competitors much older and more experienced.

Those two factors did not prove to be a problem and the 16-year-old continued to turn heads. By the end of the 1999 season he had won six Late Model races and captured 11 pole awards.

Vickers is hardly just another driver. In 1999, Motorsports Magazine voted him as the "Rising Star of the Year" and in 2000 he joined the highly competitive USAR ProCup Series, walking away from his rookie season with plenty of accolades. During his first tenure in ProCup, Vickers won two races and became the youngest winner in series history, taking home "Rookie of the Year" honors at the banquet.

In 2001, Vickers once again captured two ProCup wins and finished second in the point standings. Vickers made his Busch Series debut in July 2001 at The Milwaukee Mile. In 2002, Vickers had eight Top 20 finishes in 21 starts.

Vickers and the GMAC team were honored for their efforts in the 2003 season, which produced three wins, one pole position, 13 top-fives, 21 top-10 finishes and the first-ever Busch Series championship for Hendrick Motorsports.

With his 11th-place finish at the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Vickers, at age 20, became the youngest driver ever to win a championship in any of NASCAR’s three national racing series (Winston Cup, Busch and Trucks).
