MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Clint Bowyer snapped a 190-race winless streak Monday, but the Kansas native couldn't parlay the euphoria of the win into a trip to San Antonio this weekend.
Having grown up in Emporia, Kansas, about 80 miles from Lawrence, Bowyer is an avid fan of the Jayhawks. So it was natural, after he won Monday at Martinsville Speedway for the first time since October 2012, for him to wonder about going to watch his beloved Jayhawks in the Final Four.
"When is it? It's this weekend, right?" he asked the media.
The NASCAR Cup Series is off this weekend.
