Alex Bowman is sprayed by teammates after winning a NASCAR Cup Series auto race, Sunday, July 7, 2024, in Chicago . So yeah, he was ready to party.
It was his first victory since Las Vegas in March 2022 and No. 8 for his career. .“You start to second-guess if you’re ever going to get a chance to win a race again,” he said.The Cup Series’ second street race in Chicago was stopped for more than 100 minutes because of rain, and NASCAR set a cutoff time of 8:20 p.m. CDT because of the fading sunlight. When Bowman crossed the start-finish line after that time, the white flag came out, followed by the checkered.
Bowman closed it out on wet weather tires in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet after pole-sitter Kyle Larson and Shane van Gisbergen were knocked out. Larson slammed into the tire barrier in Turn 6 on Lap 34, bringing out a caution. He was trying for his fourth win of the season in his 350th career Cup Series start.
Brad Keselowski and other drivers are forced to go at a slower pace as rain falls during a NASCAR Cup Series auto race, Sunday, July 7, 2024, in Chicago. “I just sort of turned in. It looked pretty good and then just got smacked by someone,” van Gisbergen said. “It’s gutting.”
