In 2007, Vickers drove the No.
83 Red Bull-sponsored Toyota Camry for the new Team Red Bull, with crew chief Doug Richert, as a teammate to A. J. Allmendinger.

This season started out poorly when Vickers suffered a blown tire during his qualifying race for the Daytona 500; causing him to fail to qualify.
The next week, the team regrouped, however, and scored a tenth-place finish in their first outing, the Auto Club 500 at California, which was coincidentally Toyota's first top 10 in the Cup Series.
Two weeks later, Vickers led Toyota's first lap in the Cup series at Atlanta.

On May 27, 2007, Vickers gave Toyota its first top five ever in the Coca-Cola 600.
Toyota brought a new engine to Charlotte, and Vickers showed its potential and surprised many by leading more than seventy laps of the race and having the dominant car.
However, towards the end of the race, the power steering of the vehicle began to fail, and eventually ceased operation completely.
The team's luck continued to decline as Vickers soon blew a tire and slid into the turn four wall.
Immediately as Vickers entered pit road, the caution flew for debris on the track; supposedly from his car.
This was a saving grace, as it allowed the No.
83 car to stay on the lead lap; albeit off the pace and out of contention for the win.
Richert managed to salvage the race through pit strategy; enabling Vickers to score a fifth-place finish.

Late in the 2007 season, Richert was fired from Team Red Bull and replaced by Randy Cox, who was formerly employed on Team Red Bull's Research and Development team.
Vickers struggled for the remainder of the season as Team Red Bull began to focus on developing its Car of Tomorrow program, which would start competing full-time the next season.
The resulting inattention to its "current car" program severely hampered Vickers' efforts during the remaining races of that platform.
It was another problem in a long line for the entire Red Bull organization, as Vickers finished thirty-eighth in points and failed to qualify for thirteen races while his teammate Allmendinger missed nineteen races and finished forty-third.
One of Vickers' failures to make the race was due to a disqualification from the lineup of the 2007 Lenox Industrial Tools 300, after his car failed post-qualifying inspection three times.
