NASCAR-CUP: Bowyer ready to obey his mother at Darlington
Clint Bowyer, Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota
CORNELIUS, N.C. — No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota driver Clint Bowyer will pay extra attention to the command to start his engine at Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Darlington Raceway.
That’s because it will be his mom‘s voice on the public address system. Jana Bowyer, along with several drivers’ mothers, will serve as Grand Marshals for the Southern 500 and start the race. Bowyer said his mother’s support played a large role in leading him to the top level of the sport.
CLINT BOWYER ON HIS MOTHER’S INFLUENCE: “She’s been there since day one. My brothers and I grew up racing motorcross and along with my Dad, that gave her four guys to keep track of and keep on the right path. I remember going to races early on and she’d always make sure we were eating right and keeping our gear clean all weekend. She was just very supportive of everything we did. Racing has always been a family sport with my family and I’m very fortunate and lucky to be able to keep it that way even today.”
JANA BOWYER ON CLINT AS A KID: “Clint wasn’t the cleanest kid around - his bedroom was pretty much always a disaster. But, that’s okay, that’s just part of being a Mom. I enjoyed looking after my boys, so they never really did anything around the house. I didn't really teach them very well when it came to house work, but all of my boys have been great sons. I let them focus on racing - and so far that’s turned out pretty well for all of us.”
CLINT BOWYER ON DARLINGTON: “It’s such a unique track from all the others. We only get to come here once a year. You really have to get up on the wheel. When you get to Darlington you hear people say, ‘race the rack’ – which means gets comfortable, ride around and watch everyone else wreck their cars, but you really can’t do that here. You have to really push yourself and get out of your comfort zone big time to run a lap at Darlington – and that can bite you in a hurry. You have to respect the place. You have to get up on the wheel but be careful doing it too.”

Ducati has complete faith in Rossi
Ducati technical chief Filippo Preziosi says the team still has complete faith in rider Valentino Rossi and his crew chief Jeremy Burgess, despite the Italian squad losing further ground at the start of the 2012 MotoGP campaign. Rossi and Burgess have yet to come close to replicating the success they achieved at Honda and Yamaha in Ducati colours, with the seven-time MotoGP champion only taking a single podium finish in 2011. This year Rossi has so far appeared even less competitive than at the end of last season, but Preziosi said Ducati remained confident that making its bike suit Rossi's style was the best route to success

Nissan enters the compact performance car market with a whimper rather than a roar. The new Nissan SER SpecV has none of the eye-opening, seat-pinning speed the Mazda Speed3 has. But it does have a G meter...as in G Forces. Whaa?

In this podcast, we've got Jim doing double duty at the Toyota booth. The Japanese manufacturer is taking it's (first, second, third) fourth carefully planned step into the full-sized truck market with the new 2007 Tundra. He was also in the Chrysler booth to check out the new 2007 Town & Country, aka Dodge Caravan, and he says, "not so fast" Ford and GM. There's still a healthy segment here.
