Alex Bowman Didn't Get His Best Lap in Qualifying; Happy it Resulted in Pole

Alex Bowman took his second pole position of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, but he didn't feel like he got his best lap out during the qualifying session. Fortunately, Bowman benefitted from cloud cover and strange track conditions with tire wear and was able to hang on for the pole position for Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol.
