The No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford Fusion powered by the Ford FR9 engine, recorded his first win for Stewart-Haas Racing and a new Grandfather clock.

“Congratulations Clint, Tony and Gene on a fantastic win” said Doug Yates, President and CEO of Roush Yates Engines. “Clint drove a great race, showcasing his talents leading 215 laps in his Ford Fusion. Ford Performance continues to provide the technology and resources to keep our cars running up front."


“This is a place where I’ve gotten so close,” an emotional Bowyer commented in Victory Lane. I wanted to win this grandfather clock so bad. Let me tell you something, Gene Haas, Tony Stewart, to give this old dog a fresh chance and fresh blood with a new opportunity. Finally, to get the 14 in Victory Lane is just a weight off the shoulders. It’s been a long time. To have it come at this place meant a lot.”

After a snow delayed start to the STP 500, Bowyer came out strong, his car was perfectly set up for the cooler conditions in Martinsville.

John Hunter captured his first win at Martinsville in the snow delayed Alpha Energy Solutions 250. Nemechek took the lead on a restart with thirty-one laps to go and fended off Rookie Kyle Benjamin by a mere 0.106 seconds.

"I've finished second here multiple times, so tick-tock we finally got a clock," Nemechek said of Martinsville's signature grandfather clock trophy. "It's going to be awesome to take that thing home."

Nemechek, son of NASCAR driver Joe Nemechek, was one of six drivers to stay out during a caution on Lap 216 of 250. He did not hear his crew chief’s order to pit. Therefore, he remained on the track and hoped for the best.

“We just had to stay out there and I didn’t know if we were going to be able to do it,” Nemechek explained. “I can think everyone enough that pours their heart and soul into this deal. There are only four guys at our shop this year.


Second place finisher, Kyle Benjamin was able to get alongside Nemechek on the final lap but couldn’t complete the pass for the lead.

“It was pretty close right there. We had a pretty good truck on long runs and unfortunately it came down to a short run,” Benjamin said. “It’s Martinsville so I figured I needed to give him a run for his money coming off (4) there on the last lap.
