Alex Bowman is entering a season that, in all honesty, nobody knows what to expect from him. After a major injury in 2023 and a subsequent performance fall off many think that he can bounce back in 2024 and be a perennial NASCAR Playoff caliber driver again while many others think he will be absolutely irrelevant. For this reason Alex Bowman is the biggest mystery of 2024.

How do you think Alex Bowman’s 2024 will look?
pretty good
I think he’ll have a solid season and make the playoffs, maybe with a win in there.
Jimmie Johnson from 2002-04: 14 wins with the 48
Alex Bowmid from 2021-23: 5 wins with the 48
He will have 5 wins ( The most Out of anyone else next year)
0 wins but will point his way into the playoffs most likely as a 15 or 16 seed
I really hope Bowmans does well, if only for DannyB’s sake.
It will certainly be an interesting season for Bowman but I’m more curious about Sam Mayer. There’s no spot for him at Hendrick right now and if he has another great leap in performance, he’ll have many suitors looking to bring him up to Cup.
When Sam Mayer won all those Xfinity races last year, I believe he’s ready to replace Alex Bowman soon.
@@HappyKarl095 good luck with that, bowman contract runs through 2026
If he underperforms again who replaces him?
My pick is Sam Mayer
Not sure if this means anything, but Bowman’s teammate, Kyle Larson, won the championship in 2021, and his other two teammates were statically the best driver in 22 and 23, meaning they would’ve won the championship if it wasn’t for the playoffs format. so he has a gap to fill this year
I think Bowman will get a couple wins next year and he’ll pick his consistency back up
So he’s not going to win anything this year He’s going to wait another year to win any races is what you’re saying. If you meant this year your wording didn’t match that because it’s 2024 not 2023
i think Bowman could prove over time to be a guy who’s capable of reaching the final 8 any year, idk if he’ll ever reach champion level, but it’ll all depend on whether this injury turns out to be a career killer or completely irrelevant in a few years
As a Bowman fan, cant see him ever be a champion, will just follow where ever he goes. The haters will hate, water off a ducks back to me.
I really hope Bowman has a bounce back year. He’s shown he can break out having a great year in 2021 with 4 wins but the last couple years have been tough. Hopefully he has a solid season in 2024.
I’m not certain as to what Alex Bowman’s future season, but in the modern day, I can put him on the chaotic good part of the alignment chart. He’s very much like Jamie McMurray was. Sure, he’s not quite as consistent as his other teammates are, but when he does show up and perform, he can definitely put on a show. And if he’s good, he can be damn good.
Alex Bowman is in an unfortunate situation that I’ve seen with many F1 drivers. The great drivers make the good ones look average, regardless of whatever success those “good” drivers have. It’s how you compare against your teammates being a vital focal point
Personally, I think Bowman will make the playoffs and have a 2014 Denny Hamlin style season
That is true and when you compare him to his teammates, he does look like the weakest link especially after 2023
As a Bowman fan, I’m expecting a bounce back season from him. I’m expecting 2 wins out of him, especially if he ran how he did at the beginning of last year. He had flashes after the injury last year, just didn’t get the result.
Pocono and Michigan could have been won
@@rylanniese even summer Atlanta. I remember he had a stretch during the summer were he could of won Atlanta, Michigan, and Pocono.
@@TSpeer07 extremely frustrating time to be an AB fan, I really do believe 2024 can be a bounce back year tho
@@TSpeer07 I remember going to the Michigan race and seeing him lead laps for the first time in forever, and then he just absolutely died
Bowman was leading the points before his penalties and injury in 2023. He has potential to be formidable, BUT he hasn’t been consistent enough over a 36 race season to be a top contender.
No kidding even compared to Byron, he’s always been less consistent imo
Coming from a Bowman fan, his driving skills are there. He lacks the AGGRESSION. He is sometimes too conservative and it hurts him more often than not.
imo even though Alex definitely wasn’t the same after he came back from his injury I also feel he was just suffering from just straight up bad luck. between equipment failures and crashes it felt like it was almost every week. when he ran mid pack he was usually untouched but almost every time he had a good run going he got involved in an accident or had trouble of some kind. Pocono, Michigan, Atlanta. Darlington was his own fault I’ll admit that. but all the latter half of the year since he came back it just felt like he kept getting kicked when he was already down. Really hoping he has a bounce back year.
Can’t wait to see him on the front row of the Daytona 500
As a fan of Bowman since he took over for Junior, the talent is there. He should have won Phoenix back in 2016. 2021 was a showing of what is possible. That back injury hurt him more than I think anyone realizes. If he’s fully recovered from that, he should be good this year, especially since Mr. H will no doubt shift resources from the 5/24 shop to the 9/48 shop
Biggest problems people glance over is he has missed 9 races in the next gen car due to injury. He missed 3-4 races with Blake last year due to penalties aa well. He had speed after his injury (when he had track position). When he got track position, he’d get into a wreck. Hopefully that team as a whole can get better this season. Prove they belong
The haters conveniently forget about his concussion and back injury, bet that none of them had ever broken anything apart from a broken heart?
I think the first few races of the 2023 season showed that he might have popped off like William Byron did, if only he didn’t hurt himself. The 24 team clearly found something last year, and I think Bowman was on track to find it himself. The question is whether or not he’ll find it again. The injury is a major issue, but I think confidence is the bigger one. If he thinks he’s the third or fourth best driver at HMS, he’ll be the third or fourth best at HMS.
Yeah if he hadn’t got hurt he might have been a championship 4 driver.
I definitely agree and hope he has a bounce back season. It’ll be interesting to see how he develops chemistry with Blake Harris throughout a full season.
