Natalie Decker can now proudly say that she raced against one of the greats of the sport. The female driver has largely plied her trade in the Truck Series, so she must have been thrilled when she got to race against NASCAR Cup Series veteran Clint Bowyer in an iRacing event.
To make matters even better, she managed to finish in fifth place at the Eldora Speedway. Bowyer’s final position was unknown in comparison with Decker.

However, the bottom line is that the 23-year old is eager to get back to racing. For the moment, her 2021 NASCAR plans are still undecided but her legion of fans hopes to see her soon on the race track.
What lies in the future for Natalie Decker?
While her NASCAR plans for this season will be clear soon, Decker is focusing on other racing fields. Only time will tell when some news emerges about her future in motor racing.
Meanwhile, Clint Bowyer is enjoying retirement from racing. The veteran driver stepped away from the stock car series at the end of the 2020 season.
