Why now?

The engine in Clint Bowyer’s No. 15 Toyota gave up the ghost after 127 laps of Sunday’s race, leaving Bowyer to wonder why he had to sit through the lengthy rain delay just to fall out of the race.

“It’s just a frustrating day, first from the rain … if it was going to blow up, I wish it would have blown up (six) hours ago,” Bowyer said. “I could have been home watching.

“Just disappointing. The guys work so hard for this race. Everybody is out there having fun, and we broke our toy.”
