Yahoo Autos Bowman sidelined for three-four weeks with fractured vertebra
Alex Bowman suffered a fractured vertebra on Tuesday night in a sprint car race and is expected to miss three to four weeks of NASCAR competition.
Bowman was injured at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. He was treated locally for a compression fracture and evaluated Wednesday morning in Charlotte. Josh Berry will drive the No. 48 Chevrolet in Bowman’s absence.
“We’re relieved Alex is home, in good spirits, and getting world-class treatment,” said Rick Hendrick. “Giving him ample time and the foremost resources to heal is our top priority. He’s having a tremendous season, and the No. 48 is at the top of its game.
