Press Conference

An Interview with:

Q. Alex, what was your reaction when you saw the 5 going into the wall?

ALEX BOWMAN: Yeah, I hate to win one that way, but hell, yeah, I'll take it.

Super proud of this Ally 48 team. Man, we kind of gave the lead away. Were on two tires, just got super tight. Tried to hold him off as long as I could.

Can't say enough about everybody at Team Hendrick right now, body shop, engine shop, chassis shop. Top to bottom, everybody is putting race cars on the racetrack.

Greg and all the guys did a really good job. We didn't run that good all day, so I'm kind of in shock. I don't know what to say to you guys. Hell, yeah, so cool to see all the fans out here. Always like to come to PA. It's a cool place day, beautiful weather, great day for a race. Heck, yeah, I'll take it.

Q. You apologized to your guys. For once you had the luck on your side.

ALEX BOWMAN: Yeah, I don't know what to think about that. "Bad Luck Bowman" had some luck there (smiling).

No, I mean, the 5 beat us. Their misfortune, it happens. That's part of the sport. I'll take it.

Q. You mentioned these fans. How about winning in front of these Pocono fans?

ALEX BOWMAN: Cool. The place is packed. I went for a run in the infield. Typical Pocono, everybody called me William Byron (laughter).

Just enjoy it. So cool to see all the fans out, a bunch of fist pumps, high fives, running through the campground. I'm sure my trainer is going to make me run in the morning. So I'll probably see some of you guys in the campground in the morning.
