I am committed to follow all medical guidance to ensure I can return to competition as soon as possible.” See the tweet below: Alex Bowman@Alex_Bowman5843644https://t.co/PUd807sn01 Last week at the Texas Motor Speedway, Alex Bowman was involved in a crash on Lap 98 of 334 when his #48 car blew a right rear tire through Turns 3 and 4, hitting the wall with the rear end of his car.
