Overview
- Alex Bowman parked the No. 48 with just over 20 laps remaining after reporting he felt sick, then was treated and released from the infield care center.
- NASCAR reviewed and approved an in-race driver change, and Myatt Snider took over to complete the event for Hendrick Motorsports.
- Snider had never started a Cup race and had been working the Fox broadcast as Jamie Little’s pit spotter when he was tapped to drive.
- The No. 48 finished 36th, six laps down, and Bowman will receive the points from that result under series rules.
- Outlets noted the rarity of the move, citing the last Cup Series mid-race replacement as occurring in 2020.
