Expect A Solid Top-10 Performance From Alex Bowman At Martinsville
3 weeks agoHendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman scored a qualifying position of seventh for Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. This marks the highest starting position for Bowman in his Cup career at the site since November 2020. In 16 races at Martinsville, Bowman has one win and five top-10 finishes with an average finish of 18.9. The No. 48 Chevrolet driver also grabbed three finishes of 12th or better in his last four events at the site. After 34 races completed this year, Bowman has one win and 17 top-10 finishes with an average finish of 14.8. At short tracks so far in 2024, Bowman has four top-10 finishes, including a finish of eighth in the April race at Martinsville. In practice, Bowman ranked 30th in overall lap averages while ranking ninth in 25 and 30 consecutive lap averages. Despite offering little upside based on his starting position, Bowman is a quality tournament option based on his practice speeds, recent Martinsville history, and top-notch equipment as a driver who will compete for a top-10 finish.
