Clint Bowyer - Michael Waltrip Racing-15

Last season’s Sprint Cup win at Sonoma Raceway was a big deal for No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota driver Clint Bowyer.

The win was Bowyer’s first since joining MWR, his first on a road course, first for the No. 15 team and sponsor 5-hour ENERGY. But, the win also carried special meaning for 11-year old Brett Bakken fighting Stage IV Burkett’s Lymphoma at a hospital back in Winston-Salem, N.C. MWR put Bakken’s name above the passenger side door of Bowyer’s No. 15 Toyota Camry. Bowyer gave a special message to the TV cameras in victory lane dedicating the win to Bakken and telling him to keep up the good fight. Bakken delivered on his end, now 12 years old, in full remission and back in his hometown of Boone, N.C. getting healthier by the day.-Michael Waltrip Racing
