## Resource

Alex Bowman is stepping away from full-time NASCAR Cup Series racing after the 2027 season, signing a one-year extension to race in 2027 — giving Hendrick Motorsports a rare chance to find its next superstar. At 33, Bowman says it’s about timing, not health, as he prepares to exit on his own terms. With a legacy of developing champions like Johnson and Gordon, Hendrick is already eyeing top prospects — including rookie Connor Zilisch and rising star Corey Day — as the 2028 season looms. The hunt is on, and the phone is ringing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
