Hendrick Motorsports NASCAR Cup Series racer: 'It’s not the money … I want to win Cup races, and I don’t like sitting out.”
NASCAR Cup Series driver Alex Bowman broke his T3 vertebrae last month during a High Limit Sprint Car Series event at 34 Raceway, a 3/8-mile semi-banked clay track, in West Burlington, Iowa.
Alex Bowman, who is still recovering from a broken back suffered in a Sprint Car accident last month, says he doesn’t know if he will return to that form of racing once he’s healthy. There is still no official timetable for Alex Bowman’s return to the No. 48 Chevy in the NASCAR Cup Series.Hendrick Motorsports president and general manager Jeff Andrews has said the organization would re-evaluate what drivers can do for extracurricular activities, but Bowman said no one has said anything to him about it.
“My plan was to get home and get checked out, but pretty quickly it became get to a hospital in Iowa and get checked out there,” Bowman said. Bowman has yet to sit in a simulator since breaking his back but speculated it might hurt when he tightened his seat belts. He also said his back would hurt when a crewmember dropped the jack during a pit stop.
