In qualifying, Kyle Busch won the pole position, while Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Kurt Busch, and Denny Hamlin completed the top-five positions.
Michael Waltrip Racing also fields a car driven by David Reutimann and will (in 2012) field a car sponsored (for the majority of Sprint Cup races) by 5-Hour Energy for Clint Bowyer.
Bowyer made a guest appearance on an episode of A&E's Duck Dynasty in 2012 on an episode titled "Drag Me To Glory".

He also made his NEXTEL Cup debut in the Sylvania-sponsored #33 Chevy on April 23, 2005, during the Subway Fresh 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.
•
During the Pepsi Max 400 weekend at Fontana, Bowyer and fellow Childress driver Austin Dillon taped an episode of The Price Is Right that is scheduled to feature NASCAR-themed Showcases (a practice that occurs during a Fontana race; host Drew Carey was the Grand Marshal of the August 2008 race).

At the AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta, Bowyer clinched a Chase berth while suffering battery issues with his car.
For 2012, the team changed its name to Pastrana 199 Racing to prevent a conflict with Clint Bowyer's sponsorship from 5-hour Energy due to Pastrana's status as a Red Bull athlete.
