NASCAR 75: No. 51 in a series of 75 stories that helped define the first three quarters of a century of NASCAR.
Clint Bowyer's late spin at Richmond in 2013 led to race-fixing accusations and an episode that would come to be known as “Spingate,” a massive incident that would lead to several suspensions.
Michael Waltrip, left, and Clint Bowyer, right, were at the center of one of NASCAR’s most controversial episode in 2013.The race was the final qualifying event for the 10-race 2013 Chase for the Sprint Cup playoffs. And all hell seemingly broke loose in the closing laps when NASCAR alleged MWR, Team Penske and Front Row Motorsports had colluded to manipulate how certain drivers and teams finished.
Bowyer’s spin with eight laps to go ultimately led to considerable grousing among opposing teams, and after NASCAR reviewed video and in-car audio from the race, it was eventually discovered Bowyer’s actions were intentional so that Truex would make the playoffs.
