Bowman and Ware to miss Charlotte race with injuries

Alex Bowman and Cody Shane Ware will miss this weekend’s NASCAR race because of injuries suffered driving the new Next Gen car

OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ruled out at Charlotte Roval Hendrick Motorsports announced on Tuesday that Bowman (concussion) will not race in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at the Charlotte Roval.

Impact Bowman will miss a second straight race due to concussion symptoms stemming from backing his car into the wall at Texas Motor Speedway on Sept. 25. This will mean that Bowman is officially eliminated from the Drivers Championship. Noah Gragson will pilot the No. 48 car for the second straight week. With not much to gain, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that Bowman could sit out the rest of the season.
