NASCAR Legend Clint Bowyer Believes Kyle Busch Could’ve Won in Dover “Just as Easy” as Chase Elliott

NASCAR was in Dover for the eleventh Cup Series race last weekend. The much anticipated DuraMax Drydene 400 race has finally come to an end and Chase Elliott picked up his first win of the season. However, a former NASCAR driver thinks Kyle Busch could’ve won the race had situation gone the Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s way.

Chase won the race and that made him the fourth and final Hendrick Motorsports driver to pick up a win. Regardless of the win, Clint Bowyer, a former NASCAR driver and an analyst at Fox Sports believes Kyle Busch could’ve been the winner at Dover.

Talking about this, Clint conveyed, “In my opinion, Chase Elliott had the fastest car this weekend and won the race. From practice and everything, I thought the 9 car was the hit this week and it won the race but at caution, an untimely caution, and Kyle Busch perhaps I think he could have won the race just as easy.”

Mike Joy, another Fox Sports announcer had something else to say. Joy further stated on this, “And Alex Bowman who was right there with Kyle Busch on pit-road with caution waves, so wow. Strange, topsy-turvy, comers and goers race in Dover. Just like we’d expect.”
