Alex Bowman told reporters in Bristol that when he got out of the car at COTA, he thought that might have been the end of his career. Sounds like it was an intensive process to get healthy enough to return, but he’s cleared now and they could not replicate the symptoms in tests this week. He did not specifically say what doctors believed the cause of the vertigo was. Jeff Andrews says Hendrick doesn’t have a driver on standby and they’re planning for Bowman to run all 500 laps tomorrow.

@jeff_gluck Of all the tracks on the circuit he had to come back at one of the most physically demanding, poor guy!!!

@Hatfield1Ron @jeff_gluck Statistically one of his best tracks, if he couldn’t replicate symptoms, then he probably chose the best track for him to return! I really hope he is all good!

@GotThatVolInHim @jeff_gluck One thing about it 500 laps around Thunder Valley will definitely show whether he's all good or not!!!
