The NASCAR Cup Series postseason has been positive for Alex Bowman, with three top-10 finishes in four races, resulting in a 9.5 average finish. Despite being second-best in average among playoff drivers, Bowman leads in stage points earned, with a total of 53. Bowman acknowledges the progress made but emphasizes the need to maintain a high level of performance throughout the remainder of the season. Among the Hendrick Motorsports drivers, Bowman and Elliott are the only two with four top-10 finishes, reflecting a strong showing amid stiff competition. Despite having only one regular-season win, Bowman’s recent uptick in performance positions him well in the playoff picture, although he remains cautiously optimistic about staying above the cutline.
