He also owns eight NASCAR Xfinity Series victories. His most recent Cup Series victory came at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn (June 10, 2018). His most recent Cup Series pole came at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon (Sept. 16, 2007). Monday Dover: Bowyer started 10th and remained at the front of the field throughout the most recent race postponed due to rain from Sunday to Monday at Dover (Del.) Speedway. Bowyer scored a ninth-place finish, his sixth top-10 in 11 races in 2019. Bowyer at Kansas: Bowyer owns two top-five finishes and six top 10s in 21 starts at Kansas. He’s led 51 laps there. Kansas October 2018: Bowyer started 14th and climbed to seventh by the end of the first stage. In the second stage, he struggled with handling and finished 11th about a second behind the final points position. In the final stage, Bowyer made contact with another car and suffered fender damage that slowed his progress. He finished the race 13th and advanced to the Round of 8 in the NASCAR playoffs. SHR has three Cup Series victories at Kansas (Tony Stewart in October 2009 and Kevin Harvick in May 2018 and October 2016), plus 11 top-five finishes and 21 top-10s in 58 starts. • Bowyer’s hometown of Emporia, Kansas, is about a 90-minute drive southwest of Kansas Speedway. Emporia, with a population of 25,000, is home to Emporia State University and Flint Hills Technical College. In 1953, Emporia was the site of the first Veterans Day observance in the United States. At the urging of local shoe cobbler Alvin J. King, U.S. Representative Edward Rees introduced legislation in the United States Congress to rename Armistice Day as Veterans Day. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill into law on Oct. 8, 1954. All-Time Victory List: With 10 career victories, Bowyer is in a 59th-place tie on the all-time wins list with Donnie Allison and Sterling Marlin. -more- Clint Bowyer – Kansas Team Report Page Two Crew chief Mike “Buga” Bugarewicz is in his third season as a Cup Series crew chief. He oversaw Stewart’s final campaign in 2016, and his pit strategy played a key role in Stewart’s victory at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway in June 2016. Bugarewicz and Bowyer’s first season together in 2017 saw the duo post the 11th-best average finish of all full-time teams. In 2018 they earned their first victory together at Martinsville in March. Bugarewicz’s two-tire call minutes before a caution combined with Bowyer’s aggressive driving at Michigan in June earned the duo its second victory of the 2018 season. The Lehighton, Pennsylvania, native and Penn State University graduate served as the lead engineer on SHR’s No. 4 entry in 2014 and 2015. He was the only rookie crew chief to be part of the Cup Series playoffs in 2016.

SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).

  • Denny Hamlin Driver, #11 Fedex Chevrolet Monte Carlo Ss
    DENNY HAMLIN DRIVER, #11 FEDEX CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS Birthdate : November 18, 1980 Hometown : Chesterfield, VA Resides : Davidson, NC Height : 6’0” Weight : 170lbs Marital Status : Single Favorite Driver : Bill Elliott Denny Hamlin will take the wheel of the #11 FedEx Chevrolet in 2007 looking to build on an impressive rookie season and once again challenge for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Championship. Hamlin’s rise to NASCAR’s top level has been nothing short of meteoric, considering he was driving Late Model stock cars only three years ago. In 2006, Hamlin burst on the scene with his win at the prestigious Bud Shootout at Daytona, and carried that early momentum into one of the most successful rookie campaigns in NASCAR history. On his way to becoming the first ever rookie to earn a spot in the Chase for the NEXTEL Cup, Hamlin posted his first career Nextel Cup win in dominating style at Pocono Raceway. He captured three Bud Pole awards, both Pocono stops and homecoming triumph at Richmond International Raceway. By the time Hamlin sealed the Raybestos Rookie of the Year award, he was challenging for a Nextel Cup championship, ultimately finishing third. Hamlin’s abilities were on display in the Busch Series in 2006 as well. In his second full season, Hamlin recorded two wins, 23 top-ten finishes and seven pole awards. While Hamlin now finds himself racing at the highest level of NASCAR, he has been winning races since the early age of seven when he began his career racing karts in the Junior Sportsman League.

    Stewart-Haas Racing: NASCAR Timeline During a media session at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, Tony Stewart acknowledges that he has April 25, 2008 offers from other teams to drive that include acquiring an equity stake in the organization when his contract with Joe Gibbs Racing comes to an end. Stewart and Joe Gibbs Racing officials announce that they will part ways at the end of the 2008 July 9, 2008 NASCAR Cup Series season. In a press conference at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, Stewart announces that in 2009 he will serve as driver/owner of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR). The team will be co-owned by Stewart July 10, 2008 and Gene Haas, founder of Oxnard, California-based Haas Automation, which owned Haas CNC Racing. The team will receive chassis, engines and technical support from Hendrick Motorsports. Stewart announces he will drive the No. 14 Chevrolet in 2009 with sponsorship from Office Depot July 25, 2008 and Old Spice. The press conference takes place at the IMS Productions studios across from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In a press conference at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Stewart announces that Aug. 15, 2008 Ryan Newman will be his teammate at SHR and drive the No. 4 Chevrolet beginning in 2009. Stewart announces on SIRIUS’ “Tony Stewart Live” that Newman will drive the No. 39 Chevrolet instead of the No. 4. Aug. 19, 2008 Morgan-McClure Motorsports, which had used the No. 4 for several years in NASCAR competition, asked to keep the number for future use.
