Bowyer hopes to take Lightning McQueen to victory lane again

SONOMA, Calif. (AP) Lightning McQueen went to NASCAR’s victory lane last week when Kyle Larson drove the ”Cars 3” vehicle to a win.

The McQueen paint scheme has shifted to Clint Bowyer’s car this week, and he’s looking to keep the winning streak going.

”Hopefully, lightning strikes again,” Bowyer said. ”The kid (Larson) won in the Lightning McQueen scheme last week and it would be cool to take Lightning McQueen to victory lane again this week.”

His odds could be decent. Bowyer won at Sonoma in 2012 and is piloting the car that Tony Stewart drove to victory – the last of Stewart’s NASCAR career – last year.
