Somehow, both drivers got out of their vehicles and were able to walk away. But unfortunately for Bowman, he later discovered he had a fractured vertebra.
"Being out of the car is never an update any driver wants to make," Bowman said."I’ll be doing everything I can at home to help ensure my recovery is as quick as possible to get back in the 48 car soon." Bowman -- whose first cup series came in 2014 at the Daytona 500 -- has won seven races in the series. He has also raced in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
