19-year-old Tucson, AZ native, Alex Bowman competes full-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series piloting the No. 99 Toyota Camry for RAB Racing. With two major racing series’ Rookie of the Year titles under his belt, 2011 K&N Pro Series East and 2012 ARCA Racing Series, he is currently competing for 2013 Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year.

Starting his season with a third place finish in Daytona, in Phoenix Bowman was involved in an early race incident on lap two, leaving him with a finish of 31st at his home track. Despite the disappointing finish at Phoenix, Bowman currently sits tenth in the point standings as he heads to Las Vegas, only 11 points out of the top five and 25 points behind leader Sam Hornish, Jr.

While Bowman is looking to rebound from a disappointing finish, Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a track he has yet to race. Bowman’s first lap in practice will represent his first lap at the 1.5-mile track in the desert. But don’t expect that to be a handicap for this talented driver. Continue reading →

Heroic

Ordinary NASCAR fans enjoying the Nationwide Series race Saturday afternoon acted heroically when fellow race fans were injured following the last lap crash. No fan expected to be in danger when they entered the Speedway that day but, when disaster struck, fans helped fans to make sure everyone was alright.

In other sporting events, there is little to no evidence that fans have helped each other in the way that some racing fans did following the frightening last lap crash in the Nationwide race. This incident once again proved that NASCAR fans are the best fans in sports. Continue reading →

CE Falk was recently thrust into the spotlight this past week, but not in the way he anticipated while leading the Whelen All-American Series race as part of the UNOH Battle at the Beach on Monday night. With some hard racing in the final lap of the race, he was the recipient of a bump ‘n run move followed by a controversial spin by race winner Kyle Larson.

Following the race and despite the disappointing loss, CE Falk handled the incident well, but knew he had just cashed out the expense of a damaged car versus cashing in with another well-earned victory for him and his team. Continue reading →
