No. 15 Chevrolet: Clint Bowyer

2016 will be a transition year for Clint Bowyer. He is coming from a parabolic relationship with the now-defunct Michael Waltrip Racing organization which saw an incredible runner up points finish in 2012 with 3 wins turn into 3 years of win less disappointment in the years following. This year he will be racing with HScott Motorsports bringing the No. 15 and his sponsors 5 Hour Energy and Blue DEF to the growing team. The seat with the HSM team is essentially a filler spot until 2017 when he will replace the retiring Tony Stewart in the No. 14 SHR Chevrolet. Will he bring a win to the young team? That we will have to wait to see. What we do know is he will be driving this race car in 2016:

5-Hour Energy will be the primary sponsor for 24 races with PEAK/Blue DEF sponsoring 2 races. We will have to see what other sponsors will be announced to fill the schedule out for this race team.
