WHAT WAS YOUR EMOTION DURING THOSE FINAL FEW LAPS WHEN THE NO. 78 (MARTIN TRUEX, JR.) WAS TRYING TO CATCH YOU?
‘Holy cow! What a thrill! I don’t know what to say. I’m just so thrilled and so emotional. There’s so much relief you know; it’s been working on three years and I hadn’t won a one and came here with a good opportunity today. I was able to get it done. But, just thanks to all the fans.

TALK ABOUT THE SPECIAL PAINT SCHEME ON THE CAR THIS WEEKEND AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL:

ALEX BOWMAN: “It is a pretty amazing cause working with Nationwide Children’s Hospital. It’s been a lot of fun. I made my third visit up there this week. It’s always a humbling place and puts things in perspective. I’ve been to a lot of different children’s hospitals, but that facility is just amazing. It was really cool to go up there and see everything again. To have Bricen’s name on the car is so special. I actually got to drive the first Nationwide Children’s Hospital car with the patient champion on it in 2013. So, cool to do that again, the last time we had another patient champions name on the car I think was Phoenix with me driving in 2016 and we almost won. So, hopefully, more of that, but it’s just an amazing cause to be a small part of.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Watkins Glen–Alex Bowman →

CHASE ELLIOTT, NO. 9 SUNENERGY 1 CAMARO ZL1 – Qualified 3rd
A STRONG RUN. SEEMS LIKE IT WAS LOST JUST IN THAT LAST CORNER?
“Yeah, maybe. I don’t know. I’m not sure. It’s very frustrating. I feel like I had a real opportunity to grab a pole today. I felt like I had a good lap going and then I got a little loose out of Turn 11 and thought I could stay in it and just thought I didn’t have any more room. It was pretty close. That sucks. I just hate to be that close. We haven’t been qualifying real good. It would have been nice to have gotten one today.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Watkins Glen–Qualifying Notes →

EVERYBODY IS ANALYZING YOU AND WHAT IT’S GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO WIN THIS WEEKEND. DO YOU GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO IT AND JUST CONCENTRATE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO DO YOURSELF?
“In the end, I can just do my best. I’ve come here and put a lot of pressure on myself. We all know what the ultimate goal is when we show up here. I think over the past couple of years it’s gotten a little bit more difficult. I think the field is spread out more. This year, we’ve seen the three fastest guys are usually the three fastest guys every weekend. It doesn’t matter what track we go to, unfortunately they’re good everywhere. I think there’s more of a difference I can make here as a driver, but I don’t see why it’s not going to be those three again that are going to be the fastest cars. As a whole, in the series, we’ve got to catch up to them. So, I just come here and do my best and try to get everything I can out of it. And whatever that holds, I think sometimes people look at it like if we don’t win, it’s a full disappointment of the weekend, but we come here and we run Top 5 all weekend and you get a Top 5 finish, that’s still tough to do and that’s still a good day. So, if there’s a chance to win, we’ll take the chance. And if not, we’ll just get the best that we can and for me, just get everything I can out of the weekend. And if I do that, I can be satisfied with it.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Watkins Glen–AJ Allmendinger →

HOW IS YOUR FOOT AND YOUR CHEEK? NASCAR MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FOOT BOX AFTER KYLE BUSCH’S ACCIDENT IN 2015. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA IF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS HELPED YOU WALK AWAY?
“I think my left foot is broken and my cheek will never be repaired (laughter). I’m all good. I don’t know. I didn’t know they made those improvements since Kyle’s deal. But, I banged it off the inside of my left foot, I banged it off the gas pedal, and I had a knot the size of a nickel. I’ve had that before a couple of times and it would be fine the next day. It was lingering for a day and a half after that. I wore shoes for the first time yesterday. I was just being lazy and wearing flip-flops. I put on shoes and I was like oh, damn, that still hurts a little bit. But, I’m all good now. So we’re all good and healed-up. Ready to go do it again.
