Clint Bowyer, Former NASCAR Driver, Involved in Fatal Car Accident

Mr. Bowyer, of Mocksville, N.C., pointed the emergency medical workers who responded to his 911 call toward Ms. Simmons, the report said. The workers attempted to revive her, the authorities said, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ms. Simmons’s belongings were scattered across an exit ramp, and among them the police found a “crystalline substance” that was “believed to be methamphetamine,” according to the police report. Residents of an R.V. park where Ms. Simmons had been staying told investigators that they believed that Ms. Simmons “was under the influence of drugs,” the report said.

Mr. Bowyer was a NASCAR driver for 15 years. In addition to his 10 NASCAR Cup Series wins, he was the 2008 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion, and he won the NASCAR Camping World Truck series three times. After his final season of competition, in 2020, Mr. Bowyer became a full-time analyst for Fox Sports coverage of the cup series.
