Alex Bowman's shot to win the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series championship died when he was eliminated from playoffs on Oct. 10 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. But on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway, Bowman got some redemption when he won the Xfinity 500 NASCAR Cup Series in Virginia in overtime.
"I just got loose," said Bowman, who has four wins this year and six on his career. "I got in too deep, knocked him out of the way and literally let him have the lead back. So, for anybody that wants to think that I was trying to crash him, it obviously wasn't the case considering I literally gave up the lead here at Martinsville to give it back to him.
After the end of the race, Hamlin tracked Bowman down on the cool-down laps and rammed the Hendrick Motorsports driver's Chevrolet. Also advancing to Championship 4 Sunday were Martin Truex, Jr., Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson, who locked up his Championship 4 berth by winning two of the first three races in the Round of 8.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver, who led a race-best 289 laps Sunday, will be attempting to win his second straight Cup championship in Phoenix next weekend. Truex had to fight his way through with damage to his left front fender suffered with 50 laps to go when he ran into the back of Keselowski. "We swung anything and everything at this thing today and just couldn't make it come alive," said Busch, who came up three points short.
