Alex Bowman is out for Phoenix due to vertigo.

At this point, there might as well be a wheel of Misfortune for Bowman because I swear he always has SOMETHING happen to him at least once a year.

I wonder if that was related to why he handed over to Myatt Snider at COTA

Combined with him supposedly ALSO having a Cool suit failure (Something he already has experienced before), I wouldn't be at all surprised.

What I am left wondering though is how permanent this is.

The wording Hendrick Motorsports said made it seem like Bowman was gonna be out of the car for a while. I can’t imagine him missing more than a race or two and still having a shot at making the Chase.

Ever since that accident in ‘23, Bowman just hasn’t had the raw speed as his teammates.

Seems like the tires are clearly ragequitting today. Tire failures abound.

Phoenix was ruined when they reconfigured the layout. Either lines mean something or they don't.

Someone other than Reddick wins as Ryan Blaney takes the flag at Phoenix.

Agreed. I hate the new lay out.

Bowman will sit again. Allgaier will sub for him at Vegas.

 

[Gerarghini]

I get the feeling he will not be returning to the 48 until next year (if that).

If that's the case, Hendrick probably should use Sammy Smith or Carson Kvapil. Allgaier is literally a warm body. He's completely out of his element in Cup.
