Clint Bowyer won the second Sprint Cup race of his career on Saturday, May 3 at Richmond. A caution on lap 392 due to a flat tire on the track and another yellow flag on lap 396 due to a crash, sent the race to a green-white checker. Bowyer won the Crown Roayl 400 when he pulled away with the victory on a two lap dash that extended the race 10 laps beyond its scheduled run.
"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."
Other Bell drivers finishing in the top 10 were Carl Edwards (7), Kevin Harvick (8) and Kasey Kahne (10).
