“As a kid, I dreaming about lapping the field just like Kyle”: Clint Bowyer
During the live stream, Clint Bowyer revealed that Petty was his childhood hero and he always dreamed of racing in Petty’s car. He said, “I watched that race as a kid and remember dreaming about lapping the field just like Kyle,”.
Bowyer added, “That car was always one of my favorites with the PEAK/Petty Blue and the hot pink stripe that was so popular in the early ’90s. I asked the guys at PEAK why they picked that scheme and they said, ‘you could always find it on TV because of the hot pink stripe’”.
