Alex Bowman projected to remain at Hendrick Motorsports in 2027
Summary

Alex Bowman is predicted to drive the No. 48 car for Hendrick Motorsports in the 2027 NASCAR Cup Series season. Following a struggle with vertigo in 2026, Bowman's chances of making the Chase appear slim, and he has not shown enough speed in his recent performances. While Hendrick Motorsports is reportedly willing to retain him, Bowman faces a choice about whether to continue racing or step away from full-time competition. If he chooses not to continue, Connor Zilisch may emerge as a candidate for 2028.
