In this climate there is no way nascar would be willing to say - no that injury isn't bad enough for a wavier, get out there and race!
You've missed the point. There is a procedure called a waiver and you can dance around all you want, it is part of the procedure in place. With win and you're in for example, a driver would be able to set out the rest of the season playing video games until the playoffs if there wasn't a waiver procedure in place or race in another series, on an on.

NASCAR has only denied one waiver and that was because the guy didn't have sponsorship for a race. Which was shocking since they grant waivers for suspensions.

In that case he was capable of racing he just didn't. Nothing at all injury related
 
I wonder if this will be it for Bowman and dirt racing in a sprint car. He was just getting started doing it. He might do what Chase did after his climb the fence wreck he had at the Chili Bowl. I don't think Chase has been in a dirt car since.
 
It’s likely a cracked vertebrae. He walked away and crossed the track without a limp.

Healthy, strong young 30 year old. He should heal up quickly.

As far as I can think Chase has only done some Nitro Rallycross since then
 
The experience outside the Cup races is beneficial though. Look at William Byron and Kyle Larson.

And I don't know if you've paid attention, but NASCAR is making huge investments in their short track program too.

It's a win/win for everyone to have guys like Larson and Bowman show up at dirt tracks, and WIllyB in Super Lates, and Harvick and Berry in CARS Tour.
Win/win until it isn't. No show for The Showman. Coach is looking smarter by the day....and I am thinking that The Felon is getting ready to pull the plug on his benevolence...if he tightens his stance, he loses leverage in the marketplace. Probably be hearing about the stupid milk and cookies meeting soon.

How many weeks was he out last year with the concussion again?

Maybe he takes up snowboarding?
 
I can’t recall.

Too many concussions.
I hope Alex does heal quickly, but you strap your ass to a race car or fly through the air on a snowy hill, you run the risk of not being so lucky. These kids are fortunate, and so are we for watching them when they are able to show up.

Keep telling yourself whatever makes you feel better as the felon keeps beating the preacher. By the end of the year the felons back up driver is gonna have more wins than the preacher's regulars! Start working on your excuses now!
 
Their tire strategy won them that race. Without the track position I don't see Kyle driving thru the field. He wasn't going much of anywhere before that first caution.

pfft, lol. 12 seconds ahead of the field on the same tires. How are you going to spin that?

That he was mired midfield until Cliff outsmarted the field again and put 4 on when most stayed out. For example, Gustafson had to tell Chase that they were screwed even if he could dream to keep up because for segment 2 the 5 had a set of stickers and 15 lap scuffs while Chase only had one set of stickers per rule because they went entire segment. Once again, Cliff and Kyle are flat eating Alan and Chase's brownies and stealing their lunch money. After 15-20 laps, they were falling off .5-1 second a lap per radios. Combine that kind of advantage with Larson's wheeling and boom. Domination.
 
"You're competitive in 3 and 4. He's absolutely killing us in 1 and 2." 9 radio. That was weird to me because from my seat it looked like the 5 was murdering everyone in 3 and 4 with his low concrete patch drive off. It was insane.

Larson said he made his time in 3 and 4. Maybe the 9 thought so

What? He was 12 seconds ahead of the field on the 23 lap fresher tires sir.

He lost 5 or 6 spots in the first 23 laps and passed nobody. The track position allowed that car to come alive. Obviously a great call to take the tires and he still had to put them to work to get the lead but without that I think we have a different winner.

Oh that's right. He only had a 10 second lead when they all had the same tires after the competition caution.
 
Larson passed those preacher cars like they were tied to a stump. I coulda sworn Larson waved at them when he lapped them.
Amirola didn't even make the show.
 
I am going to be honest.....and this is not trolling.....I am very happy for my man, @Nitro Dude ....Your driver is back buddy. Enjoy the 600. Very happy for you....but keep his ass behind MY Toyotas! :)
