Alex Bowman will return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for a pair of events in 2023, piloting the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado for Spire Motorsports, starting with Saturday’s XPEL 225 at Circuit of The Americas.
Bowman will then return to the seat of the Spire Motorsports No. 7 entry at the highly-anticipated event at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 20.
HendrickCars.com will serve as the primary marketing partner of the entry at COTA and NWB, while Ally Financial will adorn the rear quarter-panel of the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado.
“I am excited to get the opportunity to drive the No. 7 truck for Spire Motorsports,” said Bowman. “Last year we were really fast in the truck race at COTA and I am hoping we can be fast again this year. It would be really cool to get a truck win and have won a race in all three of NASCAR’s top series. I feel like racing there in the truck will help me get ready for Sunday as well.”
