The 2008 Crown Royal Presents the Dan Lowry 400 is the tenth race on the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule for the 2008 season, and was held Saturday, May 3 at Richmond International Raceway in Henrico County, Virginia, outside the state capital of Virginia. The race was telecast on Fox starting at 7:45 PM US EDT, with radio coverage on Sirius Satellite Radio and MRN beginning at 7:30 PM US EDT. The race is named for Columbiana, Ohio resident Dan Lowry, who was the winner of an essay contest sponsored by race sponsor Crown Royal whisky. Clint Bowyer won the race.
Denny Hamlin led the first 381 laps until a cut tire and a pit road penalty ended his day. On lap 398, Kyle Busch spun Dale Earnhardt Jr. into the wall, triggering an enormous amount of controversy over the matter. However, Clint Bowyer surged in front of Busch before the caution flag was thrown. Bowyer was able to hold off Busch and Mark Martin to score his second career cup win, despite leading only two laps.
