“First, I
want to thank everyone for their sincere support. I have faced obstacles before
and it has made victory that much sweeter and I know that will be the case
again," Vickers said.
“My previous
experiences have given me a very keen understanding of my body. Late last week I
knew something wasn’t right, so I went to the hospital to be checked out.
Following several tests, it was discovered that my body was rejecting an
artificial patch that was inserted in 2010 to fix a hole in my heart. Saturday,
I had to have corrective surgery to repair the hole and now I am beginning the
recovery process. I will need plenty of time, rest and rehab but this temporary
setback will not stop me from pursuing my dream of becoming a NASCAR Sprint Cup
champion.”
