The engineers and mechanics have cars to prep for when the Cup Series swings back into action in Nashville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But enough about them. What about the rest of us whose paychecks depend on NASCAR? You think it\u2019s easy writing mid-week stories when NASCAR didn\u2019t bother impounding any cars at Sonoma as a prelude to yet another 60-point penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My gosh, it\u2019s been so bad this week that I watched a two-minute sponsor video, the highlight of which was Bowman explaining his first-world problems related to his dog\u2019s gastrointestinal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All I can say is I\u2019m grateful he \u2013 Bowman, not the dog \u2013 has some personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alex-bowman-drives-the-no-48-chevy-sponsored-by-ally\"><strong>Alex Bowman drives the No. 48 Chevy, sponsored by Ally<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ever wondered about <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Alex_Bowman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Alex_Bowman<\/a>&#39;s travel must-haves?

Bowman was all of 23 when he filled in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 88 Chevy in 2016. Two years later, he took over that ride on a full-time basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When \u201cSeven Time\u201d quit NASCAR to try IndyCar racing in 2021, Bowman took over the No. 48 Chevy, fully sponsored by Ally, a major financial firm. The relationship between driver, team, and sponsor is rock solid, and both Ally and Bowman signed extensions with Hendrick before the current season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For its part, Ally uses Bowman extensively in marketing, including plenty of social media. Part of that promotion was this week\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/allyracing\/status\/1669004494011617283\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video of Bowman discussing what he brings<\/a> with him on the road during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bowman\u2019s dog Roscoe creates issues for Bowman every year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Alex-Bowman-dogs.jpg?w=925&#038;strip=all&#038;quality=89\" alt=\"Alex Bowman poses for photos after winning the the Busch Light Pole Award at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 15, 2023. | James Gilbert\/Getty Images\" class=\"wp-image-1572257\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alex Bowman poses for photos after winning the the Busch Light Pole Award at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 15, 2023. | James Gilbert\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Alex Bowman\u2019s deals provides him with a Chevy Tahoe to drive when he\u2019s home in North Carolina. He didn\u2019t specify in the video, but we\u2019re guessing it\u2019s not the bare-bones LS model. More likely, it\u2019s the RST or the High Country with the 6.2-liter V8 engine, which you\u2019re not going to afford with your undergrad degree in Finnish literature. But we digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In going through items that he packs for the trip to race weekends, Bowman mentioned he usually brings along a picture of his dogs. Roscoe is a beagle mix, and Finn is a Labrador retriever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where Bowman, a seven-time winner in the Cup Series, made the connection between the SUV and his dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFinn loves the car,\u201d the driver explained. \u201cRoscoe farts in the car. My Tahoe straight-up smells like Roscoe farts. I get a new Tahoe every year from Chevrolet, and every year they pick that thing up and they're like, \u2018What did you do to this thing?\u2019 It was Roscoe. I swear it wasn't me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TMI, Alex. But thanks for clearing that up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Got a question or observation about racing?
