Clint Bowyer ends Nationwide Series drought for Richard Childress Racing

Richard Childress Racing's Clint Bowyer won the NASCAR Nationwide Series Subway Jalapeno 250 at Daytona International Speedway.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Richard Childress Racing has had a difficult season in 2009, but driver Clint Bowyer was able to celebrate Friday night by winning the Subway Jalapeno 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway.
RCR has not won in Sprint Cup this season and hasn’t won in the Nationwide Series since March 2008, when former driver Scott Wimmer went to victory lane at Nashville Superspeedway.
But Bowyer was the dominant car at Daytona, holding off fellow Sprint Cup drivers Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards on a restart for a green-white-checkered finish. The restart was double file for lead-lap cars, the first time NASCAR has used the new double-file restart rule in the series.
Bowyer chose the inside line for the final restart, and Busch pushed him ahead of second-place Edwards as the field headed into Turn 1.
By the time Bowyer took the white flag, he was ahead of Busch as several cars crashed off Turn 4, causing the field to be frozen and giving Bowyer his seventh career victory and his first in a restrictor-plate race.
Busch finished second for Joe Gibbs Racing and extended his series point lead to 172 over Roush Fenway Racing’s Edwards, who finished third.
Busch’s teammate, Joey Logano, was fourth, with Braun Racing’s Kasey Kahne fifth.
Sixth through 10th were Brad Keselowski (JR Motorsports), Brian Vickers (Braun), Justin Allgaier (Penske Racing), David Ragan (Roush Fenway) and Kevin Harvick (Kevin Harvick Inc.)
Bowyer won the pole earlier Friday and led three times for 48 laps, twice as many as any other driver.

Jul 3, 2009 at 10:39 PMAnother snoozefest Nationwide race at Daytona. Oh well, at least Kyle Busch didn't win. But something tells me he wasn't trying anyway. And really, WHAT IS WRONG WITH DALE JR!?!? He Just can't win in these N-wide Plate races anymore. It's almost sad to watch.

Jul 4, 2009 at 7:56 AMHe had an incident coming out of his pits too. Someone pulled in their stall as Earnhardt was pulling out. But he was well on his way back to the front until he got caught up in that wreck. Calm down Dale-JR-is-the....... you are beginning to sound like someone you and I know, but we both like him, even if we don't agree with him all the time. (Just kidding) lol There is another race tonight! GO JR. GO!!!!

Jul 4, 2009 at 7:12 PMWerner I believe that is why Kyle Busch won last years race as he was a head at the scoring loop and not when the caution actually came out. Correct me if I was wrong.
