Alex Bowman's race recap in the Chase race at Kansas in 2026
Check out Alex Bowman's race recap in the NASCAR Cup Series Chase race at Kansas Speedway during the 2026 season.
At Kansas Speedway on Sunday, Alex Bowman climbed 15 spots from a starting position of 33rd to finish the Chase race in 18th place. Bowman began the race near the back of the field due to rain canceling the scheduled qualifying session. Despite having a less competitive car compared to teammate Kyle Larson in the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, Bowman gradually gained ground through traffic.
He managed to stay clear of major crashes, stayed on the lead lap, and completed all 267 laps of the race. Bowman secured 19 points for his 18th-place finish. While these points do not count towards the Cup Series title chase, Bowman's move from 33rd to 18th place was one of the race's most significant position gains. Hendrick Motorsports succeeded in getting all four of their cars on the lead lap at the finish, marking a positive outcome for the team.
