Clint Bowyer

Bowyer enters 2017 with Stewart-Haas Racing in the No. 14 machine. 2017 will be Bowyer’s best chance to contend to win races each and every weekend. 2017 will also be Bowyer’s first real chance to put himself in the championship picture.

Even when Bowyer won three races in 2012, he wasn’t in as good of a position as he is now.

So, when it comes to Bowyer the question is whether or not he can change the last four years of his career and make the most of his chance with SHR in the No. 14 machine. Bowyer is coming off of the worst season of his career and a repeat performance in his first season with SHR could spell the end before it spells the beginning.
