3 years agoThis will be interesting but Alex Bowman begins the Food City Dirt Race eighth on Sunday night. Bowman and Bristol are an intriguing mix. The Hendrick Motorsports cars have been fast and the No. 48 showed in his heat that he could pass some cars too. There does seem to be this pattern where the Hendrick cars do not lose as much speed during the longer lap intervals. Several tenths of a second make a huge difference on 15, 20, and 30-lap runs. The fewer the cautions, the better chance Bowman has at Bristol. His crew could put him in a position here to contend Sunday.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
