Clint Bowyer, driver of the No. 14 with Stewart-Haas Racing, announced Thursday via social media that he will retire from racing at the end of the 2020 race season, in favour of a seat in the FOX Sports broadcast booth. Bowyer will join Mike Joy and Jeff Gordon in the booth for the part of the NASCAR season that FOX broadcasts. The 41-year-old has raced full-time at the Cup level since 2006, winning 10 times in 536 starts with Richard Childress Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing and SHR. The 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion with RCR, Bowyer placed third in the Cup Series in 2007 and was a regular playoff finalist before switching to MWR for 2012, enjoying his best season by placing second with three wins. After the team’s closure in 2015, Bowyer endured a difficult season with the tiny HScott Motorsports outfit before joining SHR in 2017, winning twice in 2018.
