Bowyer’s mother to wave green flag:

#15-Clint Bowyer has one more reason to follow his mother’s instructions: She’ll wave the green flag at Kansas Speedway. It’s a NASCAR-style Mother’s Day celebration when Jana Bowyer waves the flag to start Saturday night’s Sprint Cup race. Clint Bowyer grew up in Emporia, Kansas, and was honored to have his mom picked to help start the 400-mile race. ‘We are a pretty close family so we’ve been ragging on her a little bit,’ Bowyer said. ‘`Don’t drop the flag mom, whatever you do, don’t drop the flag.’ It’s pretty cool. I hope there’s not a caution.’(Associated Press)
