Bowyer is making his first appearance in Kansas since he was in the middle of a controversy last month that also involved his race team. Kansas Public Radio’s Greg Echlin explains.
Bowyer will be in the field for this weekend's Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, the fourth stop in the Chase. The race begins shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday.
