Alex Bowman owns an impressive car collection with some custom-made models like the bespoke 1966 Chevrolet C10. However, the famous stock car racing champ also likes to drive a Porsche beast like the GT3. Besides that, the driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports owns a modified Corvette ZR1 but he wishes to buy a new ZR1 1LE model as well.

Another one-of-a-kind custom vehicle in the NASCAR driver’s car collection is the 1966 Chevrolet C10 which has been swapped with GM’s LS7 engine and other necessary modifications. The C10 now shows off a classic pickup truck design with unrivaled driving performance.

Meanwhile, his ownership of the C10 tells us that Bownman's taste in cars is quite diverse. From old school C10 to the modern Corvette, he keeps different types of machines but there is a common factor that unites them all i.e. performance.
7. Mercedes-Benz AMG E63 S Wagon
In his interview with John Newby, Alex Bowman was not shy of expressing his love of wagons. He revealed that he had multiple wagons but he has a particular liking towards the AMG E 63 model.

So when the owner of the Dirt Midget and Sprint car racing team is traveling with his dog or some family member, he and the passengers are entertained and safe.
6. Cadillac CTS-V
There is limited information about Alex Bowman's Cadillac CTS-V. Alex has confirmed that he bought the car as a daily driver before the start of 2019. In his interviews, Bowman has also said that he likes cars that are "a little over the top". Hence, it is no surprise that the CTS-V has been modified and customized. The car has a Whipple Supercharger which provides better power gains and efficiency compared to Roush Supercharger. That is why the car makes around 800 horsepower.
