In the second stage of the NASCAR Cup race at Michigan, drivers were scrambling on a restart as they battled three and four-wide for position on track. Alex Bowman was deep in the pack, running 29th when his race came to sudden and violent end.
Bowman was in the middle of a tense battle with a four-wide situation directly in front of him. Cole Custer got loose after contact from Austin Cindric and shot up the track, spinning Daniel Suarez. At the same time, he hit Bowman as well. Bowman's No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports shot to the right, slamming the outside wall head-on in an impact that managed to left the rear tires off the ground.
