Bowyer joining MWR in 2012

Autoracing Betting Lines

10/07/2011 - Kansas City, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After months of speculation, Michael Waltrip Racing revealed on Friday that Clint Bowyer has inked a three-year agreement to drive the team's No.15 Toyota in the Sprint Cup Series, beginning in 2012.

Bowyer and team owner Michael Waltrip made the announcement at Kansas Speedway, the site of this weekend's 400-mile Sprint Cup race. Bowyer will join David Reutimann and Martin Truex Jr., making MWR a three-car operation full-time next year.

"Michael Waltrip Racing is a growing team that is hiring a lot of the right people and on the brink of breaking out," said Bowyer, who hails from nearby Emporia, KS. "I know I'm joining it at the right time."

MWR also announced that 5-Hour ENERGY will serve as primary sponsor for Bowyer's team.

Bowyer has driven for Richard Childress Racing in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series since 2004. He won the Nationwide title three years ago.

The 32-year-old has been a full-time competitor in NASCAR's premier series since 2006, scoring four victories, 90 top-10 finishes and two pole positions in 210 starts. Bowyer qualified for the championship Chase in 2007, '08 and last year. He finished a career-best third in points in '07.

Bowyer missed out on this year's Chase. He is presently 13th in the point standings.

"This has been a very long summer, but I think for everyone involved, the best decision was made to be at Michael Waltrip Racing," he said. "I've been with one organization [RCR] for my entire Sprint Cup career, and leaving there was the hardest part of the decision. But now I'm ready to start the next chapter in my racing career."

MWR entered Sprint Cup competition at the start of the '07 season. The team has two race wins so far -- both from Reutimann.

"This is a watershed moment for our young organization," Waltrip said. "Clint is a proven winner and consistent Chase participant. He had a lot of options, and it makes me proud that Clint and 5-hour ENERGY chose to race with us."

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK

NFL Football Trash Talk

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).

Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.

Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).

Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.

Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.

The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.

What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.

Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.

But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.

In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
