Bowyer talks wedding, honeymoon … and, yes, Kurt Busch
The media enjoyed a lively interview session with Clint Bowyer, who hasn’t lost his country-boy charm in the spotlight of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. During the Richmond racing weekend, Bowyer talked about getting married during Easter wekend.
How does the new wedding ring feel?
“It’s heavy. It’s forever.”
How was the wedding and honeymoon?
“We did have us a good honeymoon — had a big bonfire at the house the other night. I was burning some brush and I look over and I was like, ‘How’s your honeymoon, honey? Pretty good, huh?’
“We had so much fun. We went down to the Bahamas with just a little group of family and friends (for the wedding) — some of my closest friends and some of hers. They (neighbors) knew we were there; just put it that way.
“It was a lot of fun. ‘Train wreck’ is what it would kind of be considered, too. It was so funny, though.
“Jay Frye crashed the wedding in his swim trunks, and I thought that was the highlight of the night. I thought that if I was him I would have definitely done that, and probably that much more. Him and (wife) Danielle (Frye) came in straight off the beach, and I thought that was hilarious.”
What happened with Kurt Busch at Darlington?
“It was just a bad deal. You never want to wreck anybody. It was quite clear that I got into the back of him and wrecked him. You always feel bad when that happens. It’s a different circumstance if you were having a skirmish with him.
“You get down to the end of those things and they are green-white-checkered and there’s two tires, four tires — (Jeff) Gordon was on two and was protecting it pretty hard getting in, and I kind of checked up and next thing you know I’m the guy that’s three-wide and I was like, ‘Oh no.’ ”
