Alex Bowman reacts to Michigan wreck

After being released from the care center, Bowman took the time to talk through the incident with the media.

"I feel okay," the Hendrick Motorsports driver said. "It was a really large crash, so not super fun, I've certainly felt better."

Asked if he saw the incident coming or if there was any sign there was going to be contact between cars, Bowman explained: "It happened so fast, I didn't even see them."

"I didn't know who hit me until I saw the video, right? But it's always turbulent in 300th, it's crazy back there. It gets wild, but that's part of racing; it's wild all throughout the field.

"Unfortunately, the further back you get, the less downforce you have and the dirtier air situations you're in, and the worse everybody's stuff drives. So, stuff like that tends to happen."

Asked if he was afraid when he takes a hit like he did having previously had back and head injuries, Bowman ended the interview: "No, I'm not afraid...I wouldn't even say concerned.

"I'm a race car driver, I hit s**t. I've hit a lot of s**t lately, so I would like to stop hitting s**t."
