#15- Clint Bowyer may be flying below the radar as a Chase contender, but he’s happy that Michael Waltrip Racing teammate #56-Martin Truex Jr. has his new deal squared away. ‘Having Truex back as a teammate was something that I was very, very adamant about and supportive of,’ Bowyer told the NASCAR Wire Service on Wednesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. ‘I ‘m looking forward to where he’s announcing that. ‘It’s something that I ‘m looking forward to keeping for a long, long time. We raced a lot together back in the Nationwide days (both are former series champions), had a lot of respect for each other. We just push each other pretty good and work together well.’ Bowyer was at CMS to help promote the stunt scheduled as part of the festivities before the Oct. 13 Bank of America 500, the fifth race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Daredevil Nik Wallenda, who in June became the first person to walk across Niagara Falls on a high wire, will bring his talents to the speedway.(NASCAR Wire Service)(8-30-2012)
