Texas Motor Speedway (April 11, 2015)
Welcome back, Accell Construction: Oklahoma based Accell Construction returns to Tommy Baldwin Racing for a fifth season. Aboard the No. 7 Chevrolet at Texas this weekend, the familiar red paint scheme will also be seen at both Kansas Speedway races this season.
High hopes for Texas: One track has been circled on Alex Bowman's schedule since the start of the 2015 season - Texas Motor Speedway. With two pole awards and top-20 finishes in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, Texas Motor Speedway quickly two stepped into the heart of Bowman.
In the Rearview Mirror: After qualifying in 39th, Bowman's day at Martinsville was hindered by a broken oil cooler. Following repairs in the garage, Bowman brought the No. 7 Nikko RC/Toy State Chevrolet back on track to finish the race. Taking the checkered flag in 37th, Bowman held steady at 34th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points standings.
Bowman says: "I really like Texas Motor Speedway, it's big, fast and fun - what's not to love about it? This is also the track where I got both my XFINITY pole awards, so it has great memories for me. I am looking forward to getting the No. 7 Accell Construction Chevrolet on track Friday."
