SURPRISE!
Bowyer steals Cup win at Richmond
By Reid Spencer,Sporting News NASCAR Wire Service, May 4

RICHMOND, Va. -- In a heartbreaking race for Virginia native Denny Hamlin and victory-starved Dale Earnhardt Jr., Clint Bowyer stole a win in Saturday night's Crown Royal Presents The Dan Lowry 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Richmond International Raceway.

Richmond Results

In fact, Bowyer's victory was merely a footnote during an evening that produced high drama in NASCAR's top series.

Within three laps of a victory that would have ended a two-year, 71-race drought, Earnhardt Jr. smacked the outside wall in Turn 3 after Kyle Busch slid up the track into Junior's No. 88 Chevrolet as the two drivers battled for the lead on Lap 398.

Busch held off Mark Martin to finish second, after angry fans threw beer cans over the catch fence onto the track as the cars circled under the caution period leading up to a green-white-checkered flag finish. Tony Stewart posted a solid fourth-place finish, followed by Martin Truex Jr.

Bowyer, who won for the first time this year and the second time in his career, pulled away on the two-lap dash that extended the race 10 laps beyond its scheduled distance.
