Alex Bowman Will Impress Once Again

Alex Bowman has been impressive every time he’s stepped into the 88 for Dale Jr., and on Sunday the young driver will be impressive yet again.

His first race in the 88 was at New Hampshire earlier this year and he was on his way to a solid finish until he cut a tire late in the race and hit the wall.

He would fill in for Junior again at Michigan and qualified in 6th, an extremely impressive feat and would have run well if he hadn’t run into engine problems.

Last week at Chicagoland Bowman was finally able to complete a race without car issues, and the young driver finished in 10th, one of the best finishes in the 88 since both he and Jeff Gordon started subbing in for junior.

Now he’s back for another chance to compete at New Hampshire and with a little more experience with the 88 team Bowman is in a position to do even better than how he finished last weekend, and as long he can avoid running into bad luck again, don’t be surprised to see him finish in the top 10 or even the top 5.

Bowman returns to New Hampshire and will once again impress fellow Sprint Cup drivers and fans on Sunday.
