Biography
Clint Bowyer (born May 30, 1979, in Emporia, Kansas) is an American NASCAR driver. He currently pilots the #33 General Mills/BB&T/The Hartford Chevrolet Impala SS in the Sprint Cup Series and the #29 Holiday Inn Chevrolet Impala SS in the Nationwide Series part-time, both for Richard Childress Racing. He won the 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship.
Busch Series
In 2004, Bowyer shared seat time in the #21 Reese's Chevrolet with Kevin Harvick, driving in half of the 34 races that year. He had 1 pole and 7 top tens, and attained a season-high 3rd place finish in the Federated Auto Parts 300, a Nashville Superspeedway race in June.
Bowyer's first full season was in 2005, replacing Ron Hornaday in the #2 ACDelco Chevrolet. He had a fine year, winning two poles and two races en route to a second place finish to repeat-champion Martin Truex Jr., losing only by 68 points. Bowyer has continued to race full-time in the 2006 Busch Series season, along with being a NEXTEL Cup regular.

NEXTEL Cup
Bowyer made his NEXTEL cup debut in the Sylvania-sponsored #33 Chevy on April 23, 2005, during the Subway Fresh 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. He finished 22nd as the first car one lap down. During his successful season in the Busch Series, Richard Childress Racing annouced on October 15, 2005, that Clint Bowyer would race the #07 Chevrolet full time in the NEXTEL Cup series, replacing Dave Blaney in the 2006 season.
In his second NEXTEL Cup race, Bowyer finished 6th in the 2006 Daytona 500, and followed it up by placing 14th the next week.
