Clint Bowyer won the Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway on Friday night, holding off Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards in a green-white-checkered finish.

“These guys never give up, the guys at RCR and the ladies,” Childress said. “They just dig and dig. We’ve been a little bit off, and when you get a little bit off, everybody wants to kind of kick you. We just take that lick and come on back.”

“At RCR, things haven’t been the best this year and you need something,” Bowyer said. “You’re always looking for that little thing, and hopefully this victory will give everyone a pep in their step and some excitement.”
