NASCAR was well represented in this past week’s High Limit Racing Series event at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, though the headlines they made were hardly desirable.
Alex Bowman
The Cup Series regular made headlines Tuesday (April 25) night in an early-race wreck with the High Limit tour at 34, getting involved in a nasty heat-race collision with Conner Morrell.
