NASCAR: 5 replacement candidates for Clint Bowyer in 2021
By Asher Fair
Clint Bowyer 2021 replacement candidates: Ty Dillon
Ty Dillon is a serious dark horse candidate to replace Clint Bowyer behind the wheel of the #14 Ford and would appear to be much better suited to make the move to Go Fas Racing as Corey LaJoie’s replacement.
But it’s not completely out of the question.

Dillon is set to lose his ride with Germain Racing at the end of the year because of the fact that the team were unable to renew their primary sponsorship deal with GEICO, which became one of the Premier Partners of the NASCAR Cup Series ahead of the 2020 season.
Germain Racing sold their charter to the new team owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin, and the team, likely to be called 23XI Racing, named Bubba Wallace as their driver, likely the #23 Toyota, for 2021 on a multi-year deal.
Dillon competed for Stewart-Haas Racing back in 2016 before becoming a full-time driver with Germain Racing in 2017, and he did so behind the wheel of the #14 Chevrolet as the replacement for Stewart for three races plus an additional relief appearance, and his performance was respectable given his role.
Plus, Dillon is managed by KHI Management, which was founded by Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick and his wife, DeLana.
