Alex Bowman, American race car driver
Alex Michael Bowman (born April 25, 1993), is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 48 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports, and part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado for Spire Motorsports. He owns a Dirt Midget and Sprint car racing team named Alex Bowman Racing. He is known for a record five consecutive front-row starts in the Daytona 500, from 2018 to 2022, winning the pole in 2018 and 2021. Bowman has developed a reputation among his fellow drivers as a closer; Five of his seven wins have come after Bowman passed the leader with ten or fewer laps to go.

He is known by many nicknames, the most predominant being "Bowman the Showman". Denny Hamlin called him "just a hack" after a late-race collision at Martinsville in 2021 took Hamlin out of contention for the win. Bowman responded by making a T-shirt with Hamlin's quote on it. Following a 2022 race at Las Vegas, Kyle Busch said Bowman was "all luck, no skill" after Bowman won the race by not pitting during a late-race caution. Bowman responded by making another T-shirt.
