Toyota Camry Driver Clint Bowyer picks up First Win of Season at Sonoma

SONOMA, Calif.â??Clint Bowyer and his crew chief both needed jobs at the end of last season. They found them at Michael Waltrip Racing, a team that survived a near-collapse in its first season only to struggle in its bid to rise above mediocrity.

The team then picked up Mark Martin, who needed a team that would let him race a partial schedule. Later came Brian Vickers, who was out of work but willing to fill the seat for some of Martin's off days. The team overhauled its approach, changed its way of thinking, and made sweeping upgrades throughout the organization.

It's made for a dramatically improved organization all year, and now MWR has its first victory of the season.
