No. 5 Clint Bowyer

| | Comments (0) |

In four career Cup races at Dover International Speedway, Clint Bowyer has finished as high as eighth and as low as 17th. Those are pretty consistent numbers. Additionally, Bowyer won a NASCAR Busch Series race at Dover last year.
"Dover is one of those tracks where you want to win," said Bowyer, driver of the No. 07 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. "At some of these mile-and-a-half tracks, you're only as good as the equipment and you really don't have much of a say so. At places like Bristol, Dover, Daytona and Talladega, you have to make things happen. If the car isn't handing, you can pick up your end of the deal and make something happen."
The car his team is taking to Dover has some miles on it. It has been in 10 Cup races over the past two years. He had it at Darlington, where he finished 15th, and at Bristol, where he finished third this year.
In eight races last year in the car, Bowyer had one pole, one top five and four top 10s. His best finish in the car last year was a third place at Bristol. He raced it in both Dover races last year, finishing eighth and 12th.
"I won the Nationwide race at Dover the last time I ran it and I want to get a Sprint Cup win as well," Bowyer said.
