Alex Bowman Crashes Early at Bristol in Return From Injury
Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman returned for his first race back in the No. 48 Chevrolet, the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, after missing four races due to vertigo symptoms. Bowman struggled in qualifying and, as a result, started the race in 27th place. Throughout the race, Bowman had a poorly-handling race car, which prevented him from gaining positions, and he quickly fell off the lead lap. He finished the first stage in 30th place and failed to earn any stage points. Bowman's handling struggles continued in the second stage as he remained in the back of the pack until lap 160. The No. 48 driver was involved in a multicar accident and sustained too much damage to continue. This resulted in Bowman being credited with a finish of 37th at Bristol and is now 36th in the regular-season standings after eight races.
