Frontstretch Line of the Week
"I hope so. I mean I’m a pretty regular guy, right? Like, I don’t have any extravagant hobbies, there isn’t anything super unique about me. I just like to work on race cars and drive race cars, spend time with my dogs, have a really small circle of close friends. There’s
not that one super cool thing about me, I guess. I just really like race cars, so yeah, I don’t know [laughs]." - Alex Bowman, on how fans perceive him.
