What can one say about Bowyer? If you can’t say something nice...Well, okay here is nice: Bowyer, in the last two races, has constantly finished in the top ten. Not nice: Bowyer is only in the Chase because the field above him blows engines and crashes. In my opinion it should be Kahne or Ragan in the Chase, not Bowyer.
However, with that said, Bowyer did have a good showing at Fontana. By Lap 92 after passing Edwards, he entered the top ten, where he would stay until Lap 125 (falling to 12th). He would lose some ground on pitting but eventually gain it again with the help of cautions. Bowyer was able regain tenth and hold it to the end.
So what is my problem? Simple: Look at Kahne during that same race, fighting for it, going side-by-side multiple times, racing Kyle Busch right to the end. Sure, it is not Bowyer’s fault that Kahne blew an engine then wrecked in the fallowing race, but if you are going to get into the Chase through others' failure, the least Bowyer can do is step up and race like he is meant to be there.
Ranked 11th – Denny Hamlin (#11)
