CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Alex Bowman met Roscoe when he was only 19.
The now-veteran NASCAR Cup Series playoff driver still has Roscoe more than 10 years later — and that rescued beagle mix has unexpectedly changed Bowman’s life.
Bowman has been named the Halifax Humane Society Humanitarian of the Year, an achievement that reflects all the NASCAR driver has done to help support animal shelters and other similar organizations across the country. The driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet will officially receive the award at the 11th annual FurBall Gala in Daytona Beach in December.
