CONCORD, N.C. — Charlotte Motor Speedway will be the site of a long-awaited return for one of NASCAR’s top drivers.
Alex Bowman, the Cup Series driver of the 48 car for Hendrick Motorsports, will compete in his first race since late April this coming weekend at the Coca Cola 600 on Sunday.
The 30-year-old driver has missed the past four race weekends after suffering a fractured vertebra in a sprint car race at a dirt track in Iowa, a few days after the Cup Series descended on Talladega.
