Alex Bowman approached, but did not win Echopark Speedway on Saturday night (June 28). However, his passage to the last lap of the Quaker State 400 may have been the most influential of all to decide the winner at Echo Park Speedway.
When Chase Elliott was placed under Brad Keselowski for victory in a heavy thriller in Atlanta, it was the number 48 of Bowman Chevrolet who gave the number 9 the push he needed to seal the agreement. He crossed the line in third place, but the Hendrick Motorsports pilot did not regret his role in a decisive time for the team.
“I really didn't have any options on the last round of what I was going to do. There was no opportunity to win the race, unfortunately. But I think the way the race comes from the leader each handful of laps … It's a team of us here. So having a car hendrick (Motorsports) is always a good thing,” Bowman said to Bob Pockrass Post-Race.
Alex Bowman It may have ended third, but his Atlanta weekend was one of his strongest performances in the 2025 season. After being left out during the final precaution, when most of the field behind the first eight places were put by tires, he kept his own.
Bowman even led twice at the last 16 laps, showing the command before Elliott got up behind to capitalize on. Crucially avoided the worst wrecks of the night, including The race that defines the 23 -cars race in the 70 Tour And it remained among the contestants when the front of the field was reduced.
Running behind the leaders of the Elliott and Keselowski race on the penultimate lap, Bowman decided to push – Hendrick Motorsports His teammate at the head of the final corner. Elliott had the position of the court and Bowman had impetus, and Keselowski, who surpassed and did not stand out, could not keep the Hendrick load.
While Keselowski struck in front of Bowman's 48 Ally Chevrolet in the final lap to get an identical push, headed left and took the lower line, ending next to the RFK Race no. Hind:
“He (Elliott) had just had the 48 behind giving him a huge push and nothing he could do to cover it. When we had our cars linked to RFK, we could do the same and lost this. Then it was only a kind of two to one, and we fought as strong as I could.”
Alex Bowman William Byron (retired P37) and Kyle Larson (P17) trapped in La Costa teammates. But Bowman represented Hendrick's best shot and, ultimately, his key to unblock Elliott's first victory of the season.
Alex Bowman plays a key role in Atlanta but still pursues the clarity of post -season
Plan Atlanta 400 quaker state He marked the second best end of the year of Alex Bowman (after his P2 in Homestead), and has shown a renewed pace in recent weeks. However, the work is not done for Tucson natives. With eight races left in the regular season, Bowman is only 39 points above the line.
Is a thin pillow in a year with 11 different winners, and the Playoff image of Nascar is quickly changing. The greatest concern? The three teammates of Hendrick Motorsports (Larson, Byron, Elliott) are now blocked in Playoff, while Bowman is still unintended.
Its recent form has helped, but if two new winners arise, Bowman's site could be in danger. He will now head to Chicago for the Grant Park 165 street race with impulse, but not certainty.
