On January 3, 2025, Clyde Vickers passed away, leaving the NASCAR community without a treasure. In front of his loved ones, the 73-year-old died at home. Vickers was a true pioneer who made significant contributions to NASCAR’s success and creativity. He began his racing career by competing at classic racetracks such as Bowman Gray Stadium and Caraway Speedway. He is well-known, meanwhile, for his contributions to the NASCAR team crew and his auto parts business, CV Product. In an Instagram post, Roush Yates Engines offered the Vickers family their deepest sympathies.
“To the Vickers family and everyone who knew and loved Clyde Vickers, we would like to offer our sympathies. Clyde helped many people excel in racing throughout his life and through companies like CV Products. Without his labor and inventions, we would not be where we are now. The impact and contributions that Clyde Vickers made to the sport extended beyond the race teams. Fans’ social media posts, which recalled their positive experiences working under Vickers’ direction, made this clear. For many years, my brother Tom was employed by Clyde. Significant loss. Yesterday, I heard it 😢. “Brian Vickers’ father, Clyde Vickers, passed away on Friday at the age of 73. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Vickers family.” The story is still evolving.
