Alex Bowman Earns First Top-5 Finish at Talladega Since Returning From Injury
Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman placed third at the end of the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. The driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet started the race from 20th, and although he did not experience any issues with his car, he did take two green-flag pit stops to get through the first stage. As a result, he ended the stage in 23rd and scored no stage points. In the second stage, Bowman moved to the front of the pack as other drivers went to pit road during the stage break and also avoided the large crash of lap 114. Bowman eventually kept driving within the pack and ended the second stage in eighth, collecting three more stage points. In the final stage, Bowman ran inside the top five through most of the stage and kept running alongside Chris Buescher, Carson Hocevar, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Although he eventually got past Stenhouse on the final lap, he still could not generate enough speed to pass Buescher and Hocevar and settled for third. This is Bowman's first top-5 of the season and still remains 36th in the regular season standings after only six full races completed this year.
