"It was a little nerve-wracking," said Bowman following the pole victory. "Our Nationwide Camaro ZL1 has been great since we unloaded. All the guys back at the chassis shop, body shop, and the Hendrick engine shop have been top-notch. They've all worked so hard. And we knew we were going for the pole. That's what we're here to do."
Denny Hamlin will start second in the Daytona 500 while the remainder of the starting lineup will be set on Thursday Night in the annual Can-Am Duels.
Alex Bowman earned his first career start at Phoenix in 2016 while filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. The 500 pole is Bowman's first as a full-time driver and sets the scene for the upcoming NASCAR season.
