Overview

• Bowman said his Michigan crash registered 50 G and left him with muscular pain in the right side of his lower back that shoots into his lower right leg.
• Anthony Alfredo is on standby to replace Bowman if he cannot complete the 100-lap road course race.
• Shane Van Gisbergen claimed the pole with a lap of 93.904 mph in a rain-shortened qualifying session.
• Daniel Suarez crashed during Xfinity qualifying, forcing him to start at the back of that field despite qualifying 10th for the Cup race.
• High altitude at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez challenges engine cooling and downforce, and forecast rain threatens to upend strategy in NASCAR’s first points-paying Cup event outside the U.S. since 1958.
