TOYOTA NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS)
Clint Bowyer — Notes & Quotes
Watkins Glen International – August 10, 2012
CLINT BOWYER, No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota Camry, Michael Waltrip Racing Are you looking forward to racing at Watkins Glen after winning at Sonoma earlier this year? “I ran well at Sonoma. It’s a different beast here — quite a bit different, I think. When I go to Sonoma, it seems real technical, kind of tight like a short track of road racing, really. We come here and I struggle a little bit in years past. We got better last year. I’m looking forward to it. We have that same race car we won with and looking forward to getting on the race track, whenever that is and seeing what we have.”
Do you view this as an important race for your Chase chances? “I’ve just got to stay solid. Those single-digit finishes are going to be plenty good enough. You just can’t have the catastrophic day. We can afford to have one, but can’t afford to have two. It’s certainly a place that can happen. Just got to get through here, keep the thing on the race track, take care of the gear box and do the things that we do each and every week. It’s just more difficult to do on these road courses.”
