Product Description:
Race Win Date: May 3, 2008 - Crown Royal Presents the Dan Lowry 400: Richmond International Raceway - In a heartbreaking race for Virginia native Denny Hamlin and victory-starved Dale Earnhardt Jr., Clint Bowyer stole a win in Saturday night's Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway. In fact, Bowyer's victory was merely a footnote during an evening that produced high drama in NASCAR's top series.
Within three laps of a victory that would have ended a two-year, 71-race drought, Earnhardt Jr. smacked the outside wall in Turn 3 after Kyle Busch slid up the track into Junior's No. 88 Chevrolet as the two drivers battled for the lead on Lap 398. Bowyer, who won for the first time this year and the second time in his career, pulled away on the two-lap dash that extended the race 10 laps beyond its scheduled distance. Hamlin had the race's dominant car, but the No. 11 Toyota wasn't a factor at the end. Hamlin led a track-record 381 laps before surrendering the top spot to Earnhardt on Lap 383 after developing a slow leak in his right-front tire. Hamlin finished 24th, three laps down. Earnhardt salvaged a 15th-place result and remained third in the championship standings.
"We took advantage of a misfortune," Bowyer said, "but our Chevrolet was fast all day. ... It was pretty wild up there -- it was bound to happen. They were racing hard. That's what racing at Richmond is all about, in my opinion. It just didn't work out [for either]."
BB&T Corporation, headquartered in Winston-Salem, N.C., is a fast growing, highly profitable financial holding company. BB&T is currently the primary sponsor for Clint Bowyer’s No. 2 BB&T Monte Carlo in the Nationwide Series, where he currently leads the points race. Jack Daniel's, Bowyer's mainstay primary sponsor, will be featured on the car's lower-rear quarter panels and deck lid.
The No. 07 Clint Bowyer BB & T Raced Version will include a special insert card to commemorate the victory.
