William Todd Bowsher (born October 24, 1974) is an American former professional racing driver. He is the son of 1963, 1964, and 1965 ARCA Racing Series champion Jack Bowsher, and the brother of 1992 and 1994 ARCA Racing Series champion of Bobby Bowsher. Bowsher competed in ARCA competition for 15 years and earned 28 top-10 finishes.

Bowsher made his ARCA SuperCar Series debut in 1992 at the age of seventeen, driving the No. 2 Pontiac for his family's team at Delaware Speedway as a teammate to brother Bobby, and would finish 25th after seven laps due to suspension issues. It was during this year that Bowsher served as a crew member for his brother who would go on to win the championship that year.^[1]

After not running a race in the series for 1993 and 1994, he would return in 1995, now driving a Ford for four events. failing to qualify for two races and earning a best finish of 24th at Winchester Speedway. He would run six more races the following year with a best result of 22nd at Five Flags Speedway. After a three year hiatus, he would run four races in 2000, and would earn his first top 10 in his first race of the season at Winchester.

In 2001, Bowsher would run the full schedule driving the No. 21 Ford, and although he would start in the top ten once at Memphis International Raceway, he would finish sixth in points with six top-10's, including two top fives at Salem Speedway, where he finished fifth, and at Kentucky Speedway, where he finished 4th, which would be his best career finish. In 2002, he would earn four more top-10's, but would drop to twelfth in the overall standings. He would return to the top-10 in points with tenth with four top-10's, including a fifth place at Winchester.

In 2004, Bowsher would finish ninth in the standings with four top-10's. It was also during this season that he led laps for the first time, leading three laps at Nashville Superspeedway, and three more in the season finale at Talladega Superspeedway. He would lead four laps at Kansas Speedway the following year in 2005, and would finish seventh in the standings with 4 top-10's including two top-5's at both Salem Speedway events. In 2006, would only finish in the top ten twice and led only one lap, but would equal his best points finish with a sixth place in the overall standings.^[2] This would be the last season Bowsher would run a full schedule in ARCA competition.

In 2007, Bowsher would run the first eight races before running select events during the year, only earning one top ten finish, a sixth place in the season finale at Toledo Speedway. In the following year, he would only make five starts, but would finish in the top ten twice, with his first being at Berlin Raceway and his second at Toledo. The Toledo result would be his final top ten finish.

Bowsher, who had stepped aside from the No. 21 to put Michel Disdier in that ride for ten races that year, would run only one race in 2009 at Salem, where he would finish 27th after ten laps due to handling issues.^[3] For the following year, he would race in three events with a best finish at Mansfield Motorsports Park in twelfth despite an engine failure late in the race. Bowsher would run two more events in 2011, with his first coming with Cunningham Motorsports in the No. 77 Dodge, where he would not start and was classified in 30th, and a Toledo with Fast Track Racing in the No. 11 Ford, where he would start ninth based on owners points due to qualifying being rained out, but ultimately finished in 25th due to a crash. He has competed in an ARCA race since.
