Clint Bowyer finished in 11th position at the Autism Speaks 400 race at Dover International. Rain shortened the June 28th race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to 273 laps with Clint Bowyer finishing in 20th position. Bowyer had his best finish in the Hartford Racing paint-out-at Pocono Raceway on August 3, coming in third. Clint finished the 2009 Sprint Cup Series in 15th place.
