A former NASCAR driver and now an analyst with FOX Sports, Clint Bowyer missed FOX's final race coverage in June at Sonoma Raceway before the broadcasting rights switched over to NBC. It was later revealed that Bowyer was involved in an accident that resulted in the death of a woman in Missouri on June 5, 2022.Since the incident, he has not posted or tweeted anything. But that changed last Friday when he replied to a tweet where he was tagged by CARS Tour driver Hayden Swank.Swank, the driver of #2 late model stock car posted the photos of Bowyer’s car that he drove during the 2005-06 Xfinity Series season, saying that he will honor Bowyer with a throwback paint scheme on July 30, 2022, at Hickory Motor Speedway.Swank tweeted:“So hyped for this scheme. Whatcha think @ClintBowyer”A few hours later, for the first time since that tragic day, Bowyer broke silence on social media and wrote:“Buddy, that scheme meant so much to me. I wanted to drive that iconic ACDelco #2 so bad. I’ll never forget when RC told me it was mine! Go get em!!!!”See the Tweet below:Clint Bowyer@ClintBowyerBuddy, that scheme meant so much to me.
