Alex Bowman Crash in NASCAR Michigan Race Ends Hopes of Much-Needed Good Finish

- The crash occurred when Cole Custer lost control after contact with Austin Cindric, collecting Bowman and Daniel Suarez amid a chaotic restart battle.
- Bowman hit the wall head on, bounced back down the track, exited his damaged car under his own power, and was taken to the infield care center for evaluation.
- Bowman said, "Yeah, that hurt a lot," and called it "probably top of the board on hits I've taken," while he finished 36th and fell 46 points above the playoff cutline.
- This crash dealt a setback to Bowman's playoff prospects despite his optimism and past strong performances under Hendrick Motorsports through his eighth season.
