Brian Vickers to Drive No. 55 Jet Edge Toyota Camry Again on Sunday

The St. Michael business sponsors the Michael Waltrip Racing car that will race at the Virginia 500 on April 7 at Martinsville Speedway. Fox TV will carry the event.

Brian Vickers will again be behind the wheel of the No. 55 Jet Edge Toyota Camry—with the Jet Edge name on the outside and Jet Edge precision water jet cutting system on the inside—at the Virginia 500 at Martinsville Speedway on April 7, 2013. 

Vickers drove the St. Michael company-sponsored car to a ninth-place finish on Sept. 23, 2012 at the Sylvania 300 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He is driving the No. 55 car in nine races this year for Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR). 

"Brian ran an incredible race last fall at Loudon and were really excited to see him back in the Jet Edge car this spring," said Jet Edge President Jude Lague in a statement at the company's website. "Were very proud that MWR uses Jet Edge equipment and that they are installing a second Jet Edge."
