This isn\u2019t baseball, where the No. 7 hitter can use the bathroom if the No. 9 hitter is leading off the fifth inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, there is no traditional halftime in NASCAR. Football and basketball players can at least take care of their business during the intermission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/angry-dale-earnhardt-jr-still-upset-years-after-jimmy-spencer-controversial-comments\/\">Dale Earnhardt Jr.<\/a> admitted in 2017 that, yes, NASCAR drivers do relieve themselves in their suits if they have no other choice.

I'm like, &#8216;Get the hell out of my way, here he comes.'\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Bowyer has taken his unique personality to the broadcast booth. Those watching the recent Dixie Vodka 400 in Homestead, Fla., saw Bowyer wear a Tom Brady jersey and smash the Lombardi Trophy after losing a bet with <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/aric-almirola-fires-shot-at-clint-bowyer-during-duel-1-at-daytona-victory-speech\/\">driver Aric Almirola<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best part about being at Fox? If Clint Bowyer has to use the bathroom at any point, he has far more opportunities to get up and sneak to the men's room than he did as a Cup Series driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Like <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Sports7dotcom\/\"><em>Sports7<\/em><\/a><em> on Facebook.
