Bowman is the latest to miss time after a crash in a Next Gen car that has produced a worrying number of concussions in its first season.
after Busch's long recovery have raised worries that the car may still be lagging behind previous generations of stock car in driver safety. The worry is particularly strong this weekend, as the series heads to Talladega Superspeedway for another pack race and, by extent, a much higher chance of field-sweeping wrecks.
By missing the next round of the playoffs, Alex Bowman's championship position is suddenly dire. He already sits 12th in a round where everyone from ninth and back will be eliminated from contention, so missing Talladega will effectively mean that he will need to recover in time to race at the Charlotte roval and win that round if he plans to advance to the next round of the playoffs.
His No. 48 team will be able to score points in the separate owner's championship, where he can compete alongside Bubba Wallace in Kurt Busch's No. 45 entry for what would potentially be a split title if either car could win without their driver advancing in the playoffs.
