Living life on the outside looking in as far as the playoffs are concerned, Alex Bowman feels like he has a good chance in the next two weeks. It has to be tough for Bowman to deal with the pressure of making the NASCAR Playoffs after missing races for injury. Prior to getting hurt, Bowman was consistent. Ever since, it has been a struggle.
Ahead of the Pocono weekend, Alex Bowman has his eyes set on a win. At the very least, you have to have a massive points day and hope others don’t. At this point, it is basically win or don’t. That will determine if Bowman makes the playoffs.
Even with the pressure of almost being out of the points hunt in 20th place, Bowman remains confident. Driving that Hendrick Motorsports No. 48 Chevy will do that for you.
“Yeah I think honestly anywhere we go with Hendrick Motorsports we feel like we have a chance to win,” Bowman said to Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports. “Being two of my better race tracks, which is crazy to think about with how bad I was at Richmond for so long. I’m excited to go to those places.
“Really just, you know, I feel like last week even though we crashed and didn’t finish where we needed to, Atlanta was a step in the right direction as far as we ran strong all day and were putting a good race together. So if we can just get back to that, get back to running how we should I think we have a shot to win anywhere we go.”
