Alex Bowman Injured in Sprint Car Crash | Christopher Bell Calls Out NASCAR "Gutless" Engines
At a recent sprint car race at 34 Raceway, NASCAR driver Alex Bowman suffered a crash and fractured a vertebrae, sidelining him for three to four weeks. Josh Berry will replace Bowman in the 48 car, and Hendrick Motorsports plans to request a waiver for Bowman to compete in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs if he wins a race before Daytona. This follows a pattern of injuries for Hendrick drivers, leading to speculation that the team might impose stricter rules on off-track activities to prevent further incidents.
In other news, Chase Elliott, Christopher Bell, and Brad Keselowski participated in a test session at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Addressing recent discussions on increasing horsepower, both Elliott and Bell expressed skepticism about immediate changes, describing current adjustments as mere "Band-Aids" for the underlying issues with the engines. Bell suggested that adding horsepower would solve many problems, but acknowledged it is unlikely to happen soon. The discussion highlighted the disconnect between drivers, engine builders, and NASCAR officials on the best path forward.
The video concludes with the host reflecting on the possibility of NASCAR eventually increasing horsepower, potentially through hybrid engines, and encourages viewers to share their thoughts on the matter.
