Alex Bowman Finishes Third for the Second Week in a Row at Texas
Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman finished in third place in the Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday. The No. 48 Chevrolet driver started from ninth, but was not much of a factor in the race's first two stages. In the first stage, Bowman ran at the back of the top 10, but then used pit stops to try to adjust his car for the later parts of the race. He finished the first stage in 18th and failed to gain any stage points. The second stage was also quiet for Bowman as he ran inside the top 20 through most of the stage, but kept his car clean. After heading to pit road once more at the end of stage two, Bowman made it up to 10th and scored one stage point at the end of the stage. In the final stage, Bowman's car was improved enough that he ran between fifth and 10th throughout most of the stage. During the final caution, Bowman stayed out of pit road for track position and restarted third behind Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin. Bowman could not keep up with the two leaders, but held on for his second consecutive third-place finish of the 2026 season. After the 11th race of the season, Bowman now moved up two positions to 34th in the regular-season standings after missing four races due to injury.
