Sam's Town 250 - Memphis Motorsports Park

Bowyer is the King in Memphis
Clint Bowyer did all that he could possibly do to make up the points he lost last week in Charlotte, dominating on his way to a win in the Sam’s Town 250 at Memphis Motorsports Park. Bowyer qualified in the 35th position for this race but was sent to the rear of the field prior to the green flag for making unapproved adjustments after spinning during his second qualifying lap. Bowyer raced his way through the field until he took the lead on lap 102, he then led the race three times for a total of 137 laps, earning the five bonus points for leading the most laps in the event. The race would come to a close with a green-white-checkered finish and nobody could touch Bowyer, as he pulled away to a 0.552-second win in overtime. This is Bowyer’s second career NASCAR Busch Series victory in 49 career starts, his first career series win came at Nashville Superspeedway in June earlier this year. Despite his impressive win, there was one thing that Bowyer could not control, the finishing position of points leader Martin Truex Jr. Truex finished the event in third place and now holds a 100-point lead over second-place Bowyer in the series point standings with only three races remaining. J. J. Yeley was the runner-up in the Sam’s Town 250, followed by Truex in third. David Green ended his day in fourth, while Carl Edwards finished fifth.
