Dirt Late Model owner Clint Bowyer retiring as NASCAR driver

[ImCryn2]

What has Bowyer done. He has 10 wins in 16 seasons

10 wins in the cup series puts him in the top 30% of the 195 different series winners. He is tied with Sterling Marlin and Donnie Allison with 10 wins. Sterling had 748 starts over 33 years. Clint's 10 wins came in 536 starts over 16 years. There are quite a few notable names with fewer wins than Clint. Although not a stellar cup series career, I wouldn't be ashamed by any means. This racing stuff is not as easy as some make it look.

Clint hasn't been hall of fame material. But he is a very likeable guy, and is much better than half the field there. It was time to retire and give it to the kids with money behind them.

Not surprising for sure. SHR probably feels the team has underperformed, especially when you have a stud like Harvick leading the way. Most of us don’t see Clint as very old but the youth movement in NASCAR is ongoing, unless you’re a Jimmy Johnson, Harvick, Hamlin, etc.

This is about the only reason most anyone remembers old Clint. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jxAEnmOLXdQ

Just what nascrap doesn't need. Another driver that can settle his issues on and off track. If you look at today's driver line up I don't think there's a driver out there that would stand his ground. Many of the greatest did, these guys today won't want to mess up there hair. Goodbye nascrap, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...

Ford will make sure Chase Briscoe gets the ride. He's their puppy, and Stewart has mentioned that Chase is ready.

Yes and as you know the talent is so bad in Xfinity now that we truly don’t know how good Briscoe actually is. I do think Ross Chastain in = equipment is just as good.

I agree with Rajaflyboy... when Redd!ck, Bell, and Custer left Xfinity, their talent level his a snag. None of the top drivers in Xfinity this year could even really compete with the Big 3 last year

Last time I heard that, it came from a private equity-installed CEO who ruined everything.

you really think Clint has $40Mil just sitting there and not divested into many different investments?

The vast majority of society has no understanding of what net worth entails.

Yep lol. Just a big piggy bank. I’m pretty sure with dealerships and farming, the racing, who knows what else, he should be doing ok. Maybe real estate too. I like him and wish him the best.

Jr’s podcast gets them all to open up, including Clint. Heck, Skinners was great, and I didn’t really like Skinner.
