C'MON CLINT!
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2017 10:34 am
Just 2 more chances to make the playoffs. GITTER-DONE!
What a great turnaround from 2016. Yet, even though Clint is 10th (compared to 26th at this time last year) in the regular season points (234 more than last season (2017: 42, 2016: 408)) he's STILL not in the Sweet 16 bracket.

"Clint Bowyer – Stewart Haas Racing #14 Ford
Being the first driver outside the play off bubble looking in, Clint Bowyer has the least to lose of the driver listed so far.
He knows exactly what, realistically, he needs to do to make it in – win!
Barring an unexpected pair of unmitigated disasters from one or two of the drivers above him, partnered by a pair of top five finishes for himself, there is little chance of the popular driver pointing his way in.
In some ways that makes Bowyer more dangerous than ever. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain from putting the pedal down and just going all in of the win.
His gung-ho approach will make other drivers wary of him, as they will surely be aware that he is driving with only one goal, that being taking the checkered flag.
He certainly has the machinery available to do it, with the Ford engines looking stronger as the season goes on, and the early season struggles of the team to get to grips with the new manufacturer on board seemingly behind them.
He is definitely an outsider to make it, but he will definitely be fun to watch as he tries."
