Bowyer, who currently sits fourth overall on the Sprint Cup Series, will pilot a Crazy Horse racing Toyota Camry in the 150-lap event. His car will be painted to match his #15 Michael Waltrip racing ride that he currently drives in NASCAR\u2019s top division.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Clint Bowyer is about as \u2018old school\u2019 a racer as NASCAR has,\u2019\u201d said long-time Thunder Road Promoter Tom Curley. \u201cTo have guys like Tony Stewart and now Bowyer come to the Governor\u2019s Cup race at the \u201cNation\u2019s Site of Excitement\u201d is a great thing for our fans and teams at Thunder Road,\u201d he finished.<\/p>\n
Bowyer has captured 8 Sprint Cup victories since his rookie season in 2006 and over 200 wins and numerous championships in everything from Motocross to Modifieds. The 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion was runner-up to Brad Keselowski in last year\u2019s Sprint Cup title chase.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s one of a kind,\u201d said Thunder Road co-owner Ken Squier. \u201cHe\u2019s a top talent in auto racing, and he\u2019s got a lot of personality. I can\u2019t wait to see him duke it out on the high banks with our local guys,\u201d he finished.<\/p>\n
The Vermont Lottery Commission Governor\u2019s Cup will roll on Thursday, July 11 at Barre\u2019s Thunder Road. Post time for the event is 6 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
