Clint Bowyer Takes the win at Sonoma

[media-credit name=”SpeedwayMedia.com” align=”alignright” width=”225″][/media-credit]Clint Bowyer driver for Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) took the win after a green-white-checkered finish today at Sonoma California.  This was Boywer’s first win of the season and the first since joining MWR.

Bowyer led most of the race with the No. 51 car of Kurt Busch trying to take the lead away from Bowyer.

Busch battled Bowyer until a last lap pass from Tony Stewart, taking over second spot from Busch.

On the last lap there was a crash involving a lot of cars one including last week’s winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. who finished 23rd.

MWR had two cars finish in the top-10 today, a solid run the MWR camp.  “Everybody is just working together. That’s something we are very proud of.” Bowyer said.

Driving part-time for MWR, Brian Vickers drove the No.55 to a solid 4th place finish.  With this strong finish, Vickers has shown a lot of improvement since he has been racing part-time and MWR should build another team for Vickers.

The day did not go to well for the debut race of Tony Drissi.  On lap 82 Drissis car lost control and brought out the first caution flag of the day.

Boris Said did not do so well either, he finished 29th place.
