Alex Bowman is the latest NASCAR Cup Series driver to be sidelined with concussion-like symptoms, and he will now miss his second consecutive race.
Hendrick Motorsports confirmed Tuesday that the driver would not compete at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL this weekend after being evaluated by physicians that afternoon. This comes after Bowman missed last Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway.
“Alex’s health is our first priority,” Jeff Andrews, president and general manager of Hendrick Motorsports, said in the announcement. “We’re focused on supporting his recovery and seeing him back in his race car when the time is right.
