Shane van Gisbergen remained a ringer in NASCAR Cup Series inaugural events with left and right turns, winning in the circuit’s debut at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City.

Bowman last Sunday slammed hard into the wall at Michigan in a head-on impact at approximately 150 mph. The hit was so fierce that it lifted the rear wheels in the air. Although nothing was broken, he has severe lower back pain on his right side that shoots into his leg.

The NASCAR Cup and Xfinity series will hold consecutive qualifying sessions Saturday at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which then will play host to back-to-back races on its 15-turn, 2.42-mile layout. The NASCAR Mexico Series will hold a 40-lap race (with a 70-minute time limit), followed by a 65-lap race for the Xfinity Series.

Enough was enough for Ricky Stenhouse Jr who has had one run-in too many with the controversial Carson Hocevar at the Mexico Cup Series race.
