LAS VEGAS – The racing rule is quite clear at Hendrick Motorsports, where the boss will let his drivers go door to door so long as they don’t tear up his cars.
After two of his stars tangled last week at Auto Club Speedway in California, Hendrick gave his team a rules refresher.
Message delivered.
Alex Bowman and Kyle Larson went wheel to wheel Sunday in a two-lap overtime shootout at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The racing was clean from the restart to the checkered flag and Bowman beat the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion for his first win of the season.
The win made it two straight for Hendrick through three races this season. The all-time wins leader among NASCAR team owners now has 281 victories.
