Bio
Alex Bowman enters his ninth full season with Hendrick Motorsports in 2025, having replaced the retired Dale Earnhardt Jr. as driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet after the 2017 season. Now, he has taken over the legendary No. 48 car after the retirement of Jimmie Johnson. Bowman owns eight career NASCAR Cup Series victories, with the latest coming at the Chicago Street Course in July 2024, snapping an 80-race winless skid. His first Cup win was at Chicagoland Speedway in 2019. Bowman has one career victory in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, prevailing at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2017.
