Oh no! Incident on the Restart

NASCAR Regional·

A significant incident occurred during a restart involving Alex Bowman, resulting in visible damage to his vehicle's front end.

The damage was severe enough that it appeared hood pins were knocked out, causing the hood to lift. This physical change immediately impacted the car's aerodynamics.

The video explores how this damage affected airflow, noting that the hood being up caused the roof flaps to rise due to negative pressure. This aerodynamic effect was described as unexpected by the commentator.

Watch the full video embedded below for more details on this moment.
