Ah, yes, BK racing. The Cleveland Browns of NASCAR. If you're on it, your career is practically dead on arrival. Bowman was one of the few who escaped.

@V.V FC10 Ah, that's true. Also doesn't help Cassill that he's been with low tier teams since getting into Cup. There was the now defunct James Finch, there was BK, Front Row, and now Star Com. One of these days, we're gonna hear about Cassill on DannyB's "Drivers You Forgot About" series.

alan vazquez Drivers have better luck in the lower divisions, but Cup is always the go-to series in NASCAR. For decades, we've expected drivers to use their ROTY status as a motivational tool to be more competitive and aim for the championship. That kind of thinking gave us Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth, and Kevin Harvick. Nowadays, these rookies don't even try during and after their ROTY runs.

Did anyone notice the fire marshall fall out and set off his extinguisher at 8:45
been a fan since 2014 i was so excited to hear about the opportunity he was being given this year. hoping his finishes continue to improve at the rate they have been. if so maybe we can hope for a win this season if not maybe next.

bowman is actually really good now. Hendrick saw his potential, got him a ride, and it payed off. He already has a win this season, plus his I racing Talladega win
Congrats on 2k subs!
4:43 is why I prefer Allen Bestwick to Rick Allen. Rick would've been like "HUGE CHAMPIONSHIP IMPLICATIONS"

Ross Chastain is coming up I want him in a good cup car
HES OFFICIALLY A WINNER!!!!!

If Alex didnt do good in the 88 in 2016, we wouldn't know him at Hendrick today

Ever since Craven retired I needed someone to pull for and picked Bowman and been a fan of his in his Cup career !
Could you do some NASCAR what ifs as videos maybe?
Gray Gualding your funny
My new guy
Gray Gaulding’s still young. Anything can happen. Just needs an opportunity
LOL @ the fire crewman falling down at 8:48
Hey I was at that Talledega race!
9:06 oh yes when harvick decided too wreck the field
Yeah. The first couple of seasons for Alex in the Cup Series were abysmal, to say the least. The only highlight he had in his rookie season was a top 15 finish @ the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona. He definitely was the right guy to be Dale Jr.'s replacement in the no. 88 at Hendrick Motorsports.
1:47 I'm drinking some dr pepper right now while watching this video!
That 2015 #7 Daytona car looks great
Ahhh, I remember that time at Talladega when Austin Dillon wrecked Kyle Busch out of the Chase! This video reminded me of that.
This hurts
I DO THAT SAME GRAY GAULDING JOKE!
For some reason Bowman reminds me of Ryan from The Office
Congrat, Alex bowman his first career win at Chicago 2019 June 30
I’m gonna look back on this video when Gaulding gets a good cup ride
I’m here because my name is Alex Bowman
Damn why u gotta do grey gaulding so dirty

Damn, Bowman's Career Has Turned Around... Wow
I was figuring, Rick Henrick got Bowman as a driver for the 88, due to the fact he was cheaper to pay. Besides after Jeff Gordon, Dale Jr, and Kasey Kane. I am sure Mr. Henrick was looking for drivers he could get on the cheap.
0:37. "I mean, do I *really* need to say anything else?"
Ok I’m not sure if I’m the only one who thinks this. But at Talledega when Harvick wrecked to field to stay in the playoffs, if the current chase format didn’t exist I feel like he wouldn’t of done that, I’m not saying it wasn’t a dumb move, but I think that he wouldn’t have been in a situation to do that if we didn’t have the current chase format.

Are we just going to ignore the safety crew guy who fell out of the safety truck at 8:46
Besides the fact that the Hendrick organization as a whole seems no better than those back-marker teams the last few years.
