Alex Bowman: Fast Fontana Happy Hour

Bowman was fastest in Happy Hour practice for the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway Friday afternoon. He turned a fast lap of 176.626 mph.

Analysis:

Bowman swept both practice sessions Friday at the California speedway. He edged Ryan Blaney to top this final session. The No. 88 Chevrolet has been consistently fast ever since it unloaded this weekend. Bowman looks like an outside contender to win Sunday's Auto Club 400.
