who found NASCAR’s slow response to their concerns unacceptable. Alex Bowman, his teammate at Hendrick Motorsports, and Kurt Busch missed Sunday’s race with concussions and Cody Shane Ware competed with a broken foot. Busch has missed 11 consecutive races.“I think these guys are concerned and he sees a teammate hurt, and he’s a young guy with a career ahead of him,” Hendrick said. “I think this has been on Chase’s mind.
