Pit road stats: Clint Bowyer’s No. 14 team struggles at Kentucky

Clint Bowyer had a strong car at Kentucky Speedway, but pit stops posed a problem for the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing team during Saturday night's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway. Despite a pit stop of more than 15 seconds on Lap 37, Bowyer was able to record a sixth-place finish in Stage 1. In Stage 2, another stop of more than 15 seconds on Lap 83 put the team behind the 8-ball, but a two-tire stop on Lap 110 allowed Bowyer enough track position to nab another sixth-place result for more stage points.

To offer some comparison, Aric Almirola finished ninth in Stage 1 and failed to finish in the top 10 in Stage 2, but the No. 10 team rolled off two 14-second pit stops in the final stage, giving him the track position to earn an eighth-place result. Give Bowyer the better pit-stop times and those results could have easily been reversed -- or even bettered. Use the tool to compare Bowyer's times to pit stops from Almirola and other drivers throughout the race. [pitstats raceyear="2018" headline="" race="4695" driver="Clint Bowyer" hiderace="no" ]
