Alex Bowman Wins Grant Park 165 in Chicago
Naturally, this is all synced up to the other major races of the weekend.
After his win, Bowman’s car was slammed by Bubba Wallace as retaliation for a prior incident. Wallace is the most successful African-American in the history of the sport, having a white father and black mother. In Formula One, Lewis Hamilton holds this distinction, having a black father and white mother. Both Wallace and Hamilton have been featured in Pixar’s Cars series.
After more than two and a half years without a win, Hamilton ended his own drought on Sunday, picking up his record-extending 104th win at Silverstone:
Sean Waltman / Scott Hall
Sean Waltman beat Razor Ramon to become the 1-2-3 Kid. Bowman won the same weekend as the first British 1-2-3 on an F1 grid in over half a century.
Shane van Gisbergen
Immediately after the incident that wrecked Bubba Wallace, Saturday’s winner Shane van Gisbergen was clipped and crashed into the wall, ending his day.
Alex Bowman’s win snapped a drought that lasted 80 races.
That might be a coincidence, but see my post explaining why it may not be.
