Alex Bowman talks about his eventful day in Indianapolis in 2024

Alex Bowman didn’t have the day he expected at Indianapolis Motor Speedway after two strong races in Chicago and Pocono. Bowman ran the same strategy as race winner Kyle Larson; however, he couldn’t get through the field and eventually crashed late in the event. The Hendrick Motorsports driver finished the race in 31st place.

After the event, Bowman recounted his day for the No. 48 team and revealed a shocking part about his car. Apparently, there was a fire in the vehicle and Bowman felt the impact of that shocking event.

“A bad day,” Bowman said. “We didn’t really have a good day with our No. 48 Ally Camaro. We were pretty fast in clean air, but just really tight in dirty air. We were stuck in traffic there and it was pretty frustrating being stuck all the way down the straight for 27th. We just didn’t need to be that far back.”

“We should have done better than that and ultimately, the way the strategy and the cautions fell, we got buried there. We had a lot to do and my ass was on fire at one point, so interesting day, for sure.”

Bowman can still carry momentum into the Olympic break, as he is now in the 2024 NASCAR playoffs. It takes the pressure off the No. 48 team, as they don’t have to focus on points right now. Instead, Bowman will look to regroup and take a win at Richmond Raceway in August, a venue that has been successful in the past.
