Does Alex Bowman Still Have a Chance to Make the Chase?
The Daily Downforce - March 24, 2026
https://dailydownforce.com/does-alex-bowman-still-have-a-chance-to-make-the-chase

Alex Bowman has already missed three full races this season due to his diagnosis of vertigo that came after he stepped out of the COTA race. …
:
This past off-season, the NASCAR rulebook changed, and not in Bowman’s favor.
:
The old “win, and you’re in” safety net is gone. Now, a driver must sit inside the top 16 in points after 26 races to secure a place in the postseason. Every lap, every stage, every finish factors into that total, and there is no single day that can wipe the slate clean.
:
The odds are definitely against the No. 48 driver, but the door is not locked. The margins are thin, and the calendar waits for no one. Yet, Bowman’s Chase hopes hang by a thread, not cut, not tied, and are still very much in play if he can turn every start into a step forward.

I like Chase Elliot because I loved his father. Otherwise, I know little about him.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — With the Cup Series circuit closing in on the quarter mark of the 2026 season, select drivers have sprinted off their blocks while others are finding a good pace that can set them up for the long haul of the regular season before The Chase.

Tyler Reddick, Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney have set the bar as the first group of winners this year, while a surprising cast of drivers, such as William Byron, Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell remain winless despite all having relatively strong starts compared to the rest of the full-time Cup Series roster. more
