Shane Bowers began his fourth season as a crewman for Donny Schatz in February. The past three seasons, he has been part of the championship winning team, coming over from the Schatz Motorsports team to Tony Stewart Racing in November 2007.  He has been involved in 62 victories with Schatz through the 2008 season.

Bowers spent time working with the Parsons Motorsports team and driver Tim Shaffer before he joined Schatz Motorsports in March 2006. He grew up as a neighbor to the late Kevin Gobrecht in New Oxford, Pennsylvania, and started working in racing with PJ Chesson in 1998.

After three seasons with Chesson Racing, he raced locally with Michael Markey before returning to the road with Brian Paulus in 2003. He spent the past two years with Parsons Racing and claims the 2005 thrilling victory at the Lernerville Silver Cup was one of his best nights working on the No. 6 car.

Bowers has been designated car chief by Ricky Warner, which means he'll be involved in all phases of getting the car ready to race each night.

Bowers resides in Brownsburg, IN with his wife Stacey, and their newborn son.
