NASCAR Twitter Loved Clint Bowyer’s Commentary During Virtual Richmond Race
Don’t be surprised if Clint Bowyer slides into the broadcast booth once his racing career ends.
The veteran driver finished dead-last in Sunday’s eNASCAR race at virtual Richmond Raceway, eventually watching William Byron win his second straight iRacing Pro Invitational Series event. However, the ever-entertaining Bowyer still managed to be the story of the day for NASCAR fans.
Bowyer participated in FOX’s broadcast throughout the race, and provided some truly hilarious commentary. His back-and-forths with Jeff Gordon were particularly amusing.
Here are some of the highlights:

NASCAR fans couldn’t get enough of Bowyer, and many hope he participates in next week’s broadcast as well.

Is it wrong that I'm having more fun watching @NASCARONFOX #iRacing than I do watching real races? I love all the commentary and light-hearted banter. I also love seeing @DaleJr and Bobby Labonte race again. Thank you all for keeping us entertained. Especially you @ClintBowyer ?

Sunday’s Pro Invitational Series race was just the latest example of iRacing and NASCAR teaming up to help motorsports fans scratch the itch amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The races, which began after the 2020 season screeched to a halt, have been entertaining, and the broadcasts as informative as they’ve been all-around enjoyable.
The Pro Invitational Series will continue next Sunday at virtual Talladega Superspeedway. No word yet on whether Bowyer plans to lend his broadcasting chops.
