CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Alex Bowman will miss at least the next three NASCAR Cup races with a fractured vertebra he suffered in a sprint car crash. Hendrick Motorsports says Josh Berry will replace Bowman beginning this weekend at Dover International Speedway. Berry replaced Chase Elliott for five races while Elliott recovered from a broken leg. Bowman suffered a compression fracture in an accident Tuesday evening, which was his 30th birthday. He was competing in a sprint car event at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. The event was part of a racing series created by his Hendrick teammate Kyle Larson.
