 In last Sunday’s race at Atlanta, Bowyer finished fifth after qualifying third and posting the fastest times in Friday and Saturday’s practice sessions. In the race, Bowyer remained in the top-10 throughout the 500 miles, narrowly avoiding disaster by pitting before a cut tire ended his race. The top- five, combined with a 20th-place finish in Daytona, moved him to ninth in the points.

 At the September 2018 race in Las Vegas, Bowyer started 15th and finished 23rd on a day that saw nearly every playoff car encounter trouble. The No. 14 climbed as high as seventh with 50 laps remaining, but contact with another car and the wall with 10 laps remaining dropped him two laps behind the leader. Bowyer said: “I thought we were going to capitalize, but there at the end it all went bad.”
