Bowyer to run DirecTV hotpass scheme at Atlanta:

Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and DIRECTV, primary sponsor of Clint Bowyer’s #07 Chevrolet for six races on the 2007 Nextel Cup Series schedule, will unveil a new paint scheme for Bowyer’s #07 entry at next weekend’s Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. This unique paint scheme will prominently feature the logo for the innovative new NASCAR HotPass service, exclusively available on DIRECTV. The new paint scheme is well-timed for DIRECTV as Bowyer continues an impressive start in his second year in NASCAR’s top division. It also coincides with a strong overall start for RCR to the 2007 season. All three RCR entries are currently in the top six of the Nextel Cup Series championship point standings. Additionally, Kevin Harvick captured victory in spectacular fashion in last month’s season-opening Daytona 500, the second Great America Race victory in RCR’s storied history.
