WATCH: Alex Bowman Shows Off a Brand New Lid for the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Season

With the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season rapidly approaching, drivers are busy getting ready for it. Recently, Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman unveiled a brand new helmet for the coming season. The new lid largely resembles his #48 car’s livery.

The new helmet is deep purple in color, with light blue and pink decals on it. In addition to that, it also sports the Ally logo on the side. This will hopefully herald a new dawn for Bowman as he enters his second season in the #48 car. Last year, he put in a relatively decent performance, but he wasn’t as close in the championship fight as he would like to be.

In other news, Bowman gained a new sponsor in the form of drinks brand, Day Chaser. The driver knows that the upcoming season is an important one because of the onset of the Next Gen cars and the fact that everyone has to adapt to them.

What can we expect from Alex Bowman?

After his fairly average 2021 season, the driver is seeking redemption. In terms of the championship battle, he knows that Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott cannot shoulder all the burden. So, he and William Byron have to really step up to the plate. Recently, he was at the Chili Bowl Nationals, like his teammates Larson and Elliott.

Unfortunately, he did not win, but he did gain some valuable experience from the event. Without a doubt, all of these additional events will be working wonders to hone the skills of the NASCAR stars. If they sit idle, they could potentially be at a disadvantage in comparison with their rivals.

So, drivers like Bowman will be working hard to keep themselves in shape. In terms of NASCAR performance, being fast is all very well and good, but the real trick is to try and stay clean as much as possible. How do you think Bowman’s 2022 season will unfold?
