Alex Bowman posted a lap at 191.261 mph Wednesday night at Daytona International Speedway to earn the top starting spot for the second time in his career.
It's the fourth consecutive year Bowman will start from the front row. “It doesn’t really have a lot to do with me — it’s a testament to these guys and everybody back at the shop at Hendrick Motorsports," Bowman said. “They work so hard on these superspeedway cars.
They’re beautiful when they get to the race track.” William Byron made it a Hendrick sweep with a lap at 190.219 mph. Only the front row was set Wednesday
