“We had a really fast Ally Camaro,” said Bowman after his second top-two effort in six events this season. “I’ve been trying to do a better job as a race car driver at these road courses, and I felt like from where we started the weekend, I accomplished that. I’m so proud of (crew chief) Greg (Ives) and all the guys.”

The result means that Bowman moves up to fourth in NASCAR Cup Series points standings but teammate Chase Elliott’s fourth place finish at COTA means that he extends his lead in the Cup Series standings to 13 points over Ryan Blaney.
Next on the NASCAR schedule is the first of series of short track races over three weekends, starting with Sunday’s 400-lapper at Richmond Raceway.
