Alex Bowman may be the lone Hendrick Motorsports driver yet to punch his ticket to the playoffs, but his passion for racing and horsepower-fueled machines leaves no doubt about his drive. Beneath the fire suit, Bowman is a bona fide gearhead with a garage that reads more like a showroom, boasting a collection of 20 vehicles. But among them, one car sits closest to his heart.<\/p>\n
During Jeff Gluck\u2019s 12 Questions segment, Shane van Gisbergen passed the torch to Bowman with a question about his dream car from the Japanese domestic market (JDM). Bowman didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cI know SVG has an RX-7 that he just did. He had somebody build it here in the States for him, and it came out really cool,\u201d he said, before tipping the hat to his own special possession.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knows I have an R32 GT-R, which is a super cool car. It makes a little over 700 horsepower. It\u2019s pretty much restored. Something is always broken on it. I\u2019d say that\u2019s probably my JDM dream car,\u201d Bowman revealed.<\/p>\n
Bowman admitted the collection has grown beyond a hobby, saying<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019ve got 20 cars at the moment. It\u2019s a massive problem. It\u2019s an addiction. And everybody yells at me about it.\u201d<\/p>\n While Bowman chases points in the Cup Series, he also runs ABR, Inc., a racing outfit that fields Sprint Cars and dabbles in both drift and street car projects. His Sprint Cars have raced around dirt tracks across the country, but they\u2019re only a sliver of his diverse automotive lineup.<\/p>\n
