Bowman, who entered his eighth full season with HMS in 2025, was evaluated for back pain following a multi-car crash at Michigan International Speedway.On Lap 67 of the regular-season Cup Series event at Michigan, Bowman made contact with former Xfinity Series driver Cole Custer, following which, he ran straight into the outside wall, ending his day early. He was cleared for the following week’s race in Mexico, but his team decided to play it safe with Alfredo as the primary simulator driver.“That hurt a lot,” Bowman said of the crash. “That was probably top of the board on hits I’ve taken, and unfortunately I’ve had a lot of hits. So I hate that for the 48 team. Couldn’t really do anything except think about ‘Oh (expletive) this is about to hurt really bad.’ Hate that. Hate that for our team.”In the end, Anthony Alfredo didn’t need to fill in for Bowman. The HMS icon bagged a P4 finish in the Viva Mexico 250, which was held on June 15, 2025. Shane van Gisbergen won the race, while the top five spots were rounded off by Christopher Bell, Chase Elliott, Bowman, and Michael McDowell.
