It's true that Alex Bowman is just a few months out of probably the worst slump of his career. However, that doesn't take away the achievements he has under his belt as a stock car driver. In the NextGen machine’s inaugural year, i.e., 2022, Bowman recorded a win at Las Vegas, winning the first stage and leading 19 decisive laps, besides picking up four top-fives and 12 top-10 finishes.
In his fourth consecutive year of racing the number 48 Ally Racing team and his seventh with Hendrick Motorsports, Bowman is considered one of the best drivers driving for the winningest team of NASCAR. Paired with crew chief Blake Harris, the Chevy star looks forward to bagging his eighth Cup Series win this year, and with that, his sixth playoff appearance.
Who are Alex Bowman Parents?
Alex Bowman’s parents split up long back and not a lot is known about his mother. However, Bowman shares an extremely close connection with his dad, Sean Bowman.
Who is Alex Bowman's father?
Bowman's father, Sean Bowman has always been there for his son throughout the latter's racing career. He owns a small car body shop in Arizona. However, he is not just an owner and as Bowman says, his father likes to get “his hands dirty”. Needless to say, if it weren't for his dad, Alex Bowman wouldn't have the mechanical knowledge about race cars that he has today.
“My dad was, and still is, a huge part of my racing career,” said Bowman in an interview with Team Valvoline, a long-time Hendrick Motorsports sponsor. “He shaped my love and passion for cars as a kid and he got me started in racing, and did a lot for me to get to this point.”
He was then asked what is the most useful quality that Bowman has inherited from his father? The driver answered: “Learning his work ethic and learning what it takes to get stuff done,” he admitted. “I grew up managing school and building my own race cars and he was always busy, so we worked a lot of late nights and early mornings.”
