At Chicagoland last weekend, rumors swirled that #33-Clint Bowyer and MWR were ready to announce a deal with Michael Waltrip Racing, but the two parties never made an announcement. Pressed about the issue during an appearance for the upcoming Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Bowyer seemed close to a decision. “We are getting close to making an announcement,” he told News/Talk WSB. “I’ve had a lot of opportunities and a lot it hinges on funding.” Longtime Richard Childress Racing employee and former Director of Competition Scott Miller has left RCR and is highly rumored to have taken a job at MWR – Bowyer’s likely destination. When asked whether Miller’s departure and destination were linked to his own, Bowyer grinned and said, “I wish him the best and, who knows, maybe I will be working with him someday.”(WSB Radio Blog)(9-22-2011)
