A year ago, Clint Bowyer tasted victory at Bristol Motor Speedway for the first time in his career in the spring Nationwide Series event.

He will try to make it two in row Saturday, March 21 during the Scotts Turf Builder 300, one of NASCAR's most popular Nationwide races.

"Winning the Nationwide Series race at Bristol in the spring last year was very special to me," said Bowyer.  "It's one of my favorite tracks on the circuit.  You've really earned it when you win a race there.  It's a very tough, demanding race track. 

"We should have won both Nationwide races there last year.  I feel like I gave up the second race.  I made a mistake and it cost us the race.  We had the car to win.  I'll be in both Nationwide Series races at Bristol this year, and we're going to do all we can to sweep both races this time around."

Bowyer leads a strong field of drivers in the quest to conquer the World's Fastest Half-Mile. Among the other NASCAR Sprint Cup regulars who will vie for the Scotts Turf Builder 300 win are Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch, David Ragan, Joey Logano and Scott Speed. Among those drivers, Harvick, Edwards and Kyle Busch join Bowyer as past winners at BMS.

Another strong contender will be Brad Keselowski, who picked up his first win at BMS in last year's Food City 250 in August.

Qualifying for the Scotts Turf Builder 300 will take place Saturday, March 21 at 9:40 a.m., with the race slated to get the green flag at 2 p.m.

Fans in attendance that afternoon also will get to see the Scotts Saturday Night Special, an all-star race, featuring some of racing's greatest drivers, including Rusty Wallace, Junior Johnson and Harry Gant. To cap the night, a 100-lap UARA race also is on tap.

Tickets, which include all three races, start at $45 and are available by calling the BMS ticket office at 423-989-6900 or by visiting www.bristoltix.com
