The Red Bull Racing Team, owned by Red Bull energy drink founder Dietrich Mateschitz, utilized his vast resources as he began to put personnel in place with his NASCAR Sprint Cup team for its 2007 debut. The drivers for the team were Brian Vickers (#83) and A.J. Allmendinger (#84); well-respected crew chief Kevin Hamlin being in charge of the Vickers car. Kevin Hamlin gained attention and respect in winning nine Sprint Cup races prior to joining the team; five of those wins were with Richard Childress Racing and Dale Earnhardt Sr. During the 2008 season, the #83 team finished 19th in the final NASCAR Sprint Cup standings. The Red Bull team amassed three top-five finishes and eight top-ten finishes during the course of the racing season. The team gained a reputation for having fast, well-prepared machines.
