Can Clint Bowyer Make The Most Of SHR?

When was the last time Clint Bowyer was truly in quality equipment in NASCAR? Sure, he has been in a couple of decent rides throughout his career and he has won races and made the Chase but overall he has never truly been in a great car on a great team.

All of that changes for Bowyer in 2017 when he debuts in the No. 14 machine for Stewart-Haas Racing.

Taking over Tony Stewart’s car is the single greatest opportunity that Bowyer will ever be afforded in his NASCAR career as it’s his one true chance to contend for wins and a championship. Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick have used their time at SHR to wins races and a championship (Harvick in 2014) and in 2017 Bowyer will be looking to get in on that action.

If Bowyer cannot win in 2017, it will truly be an opportunity squandered.
