DAYTONA, Fla. – It’s been a big week for Alex Bowman.

First came a trip to Victory Lane at Chicagoland Speedway – the first win of his NASCAR Cup Series career – and then came plenty of celebrating with friends and teammates.

But before he headed to Daytona International Speedway for this weekend’s race, he made sure to commemorate the win with one more item – a brand-new car.

“I got to drive a Camaro ZL1 at the Milford Proving Grounds last year,” Bowman explained. “I’ve always been a Corvette guy, so I almost didn’t want to like it, and I fell in love with it. I’ve been thinking about getting one and then I drove one at Spring Mountain a couple of weeks ago, too. I said, ‘If I win a race, I’m going to get one.’”

It just so happens that he won a race.
