It took Clint Bowyer 64 races to finally visit victory lane, and he joins Casey Mears, Martin Truex Jr. and Juan Pablo Montoya as 1st time Nextel Cup winners this season.Some other notes from Sunday's Sylvania 300:
* Bowyer became the 18th driver in history to win races in the Cup Series, Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series.
* In all 4 years of the Chase format, a Chase driver has won the opening race at New Hampshire.
* In his previous 3 career starts at NHIS, Bowyer had never posted a top-10 finish.
* Car owner Richard Childress wasn't even on hand for Bowyer's 1st win, despite having all 3 of his teams in the Chase. He's in Mongolia on a hunting trip.

Clint Bowyer, the pride of Emporia, Kansas. Good for him, it's been a long time coming.
Mongolia? Hunting trip? During the Chase?
