| Bill Bowman is a former NASCAR driver from Aberdeen, MD. He competed in eight Sprint Cup Series events in his career, earning four top-tens.
Bowman's debut came in 1955, when he began a three-race schedule at New Oxford. It was a very impressive showing for the driver, who drove from 17th to 7th in the race. He quickly proved that was no fluke, following that race up with a solid 8th place run at Winston-Salem before closing the year out with a mid-pack 35th place run at Darlington in the Southern 500.
Bowman scaled it down to a one-race schedule during the 1956 season, when he competed at Weaverville for the first time in his career. It was still a good race for the driver though, piloting his car from 18th starting position to a 9th place finish at the end of the day.
Bowman's final four races then would all come during the 1957 season, when recorded a career-high 60th place in the final point standings. That shouldn't shock anyone considering Bowman's results during the year, finishing no lower than 17th during the year. He recorded a 8th place run at Langhorne, a 16th at New Oxford and then the 17ths at Martinsville and Norfolk (his final career race).
