What more did you need there to make that happen? Uh just favors, but sometimes you get them and sometimes you don’t. So, uh as frustrated as I was, just uh needed to be better and take care of my rear tires a little better. Um shenanigans with the four heated up my rears and then I just couldn’t get going again. So, uh bummer on that, but uh yeah, part of it. You suggested team orders a little bit. Well, the 33 was really fast and then stopped right in front of me for a while. Uh, which I don’t know, maybe his stuff fell off really quick, right? I was just really frustrated on the radio and sometimes that push to talk button just let you vent a little

Anyone that complains that someone didn’t pull over to let them pass needs to find another job. A good driver finds a way. Time for bowman to find another job and quit crying!!
They whine about the next-gen car…They whine about blocking…Anybody else think they just like to whine?
Ever heard of bump and run? Moving them out of the way? Honestly this is why I've advocated for someone to vacate Alex Bowman from that 48 car. He's not even that good and i can think of better drivers to put in that seat
Wow Bowman has so much haters it's unreal
This is why NASCAR is losing fans. These drivers make more when they finish dead last than Dale Earnhardt Sr. made winning a race. Then they turn around and cry when they finish second because the racer that finished first "blocked" them. According to the results of the last race it ok even to put the bumper to your team-mate. I wonder how many times Childress was accused of manipulating races during Dale's reign of championships? Of course, it does make you wonder how Austin Dillon won!
Bowman blocked his teammates at Dover four years ago (2021)
Don’t worry you can win next week 😊
So, a driver who ended up disqualified for an illegal car last year. Whose team benefited from ordering other race teams to block and manipulate races and who has teammates (looking at you Chase) who have done this exact thing as well now complaining.
Go pound sand Bowman. I know you're frustrated with the cut line but payback for years of Hendrick crap is unfortunately gonna fall on you current drivers.
Pansie😮
So a teammate did exactly what he should ?!?! Honk your chrome horn if he’s blocking you !! Shows how old I am !!
Cry bowman cry……HMS sucks anyway…..
It does seem strange that he doesn't do much and they get to Richmond and they mention dillion and he wins the race?? Another Bubba thing ?????? Everyone slowed up and let Bubba win????
Baby Bowman!
Alex, you are a king for that
Don't worry, Alex. I'm sure your boss will pull the right strings to make sure you make the playoffs…
Cry me a river Bowman!
Heck Bowman, don’t complain about RCR possibly manipulating a race. NASCAR manipulates the outcome of every race, several times per race. They call it stage racing. If you’re going to complain, complain about that.
Only way it would of been race manipulation is if a Hendrick car caused a caution to basically give him a shot at a race he couldn’t win just like MWR did at Richmond years ago
Is anybody serving cheese with Bowmans whine?
Its all rigged racing
lol accusing someone of blocking and cheating when he runs for the team that’s been caught cheating more than any team in the sport Hendrix motor sports team has been suspended so many times it ain’t even funny at least it wasn’t Bubba Cry Baby Wallace winning
Do you think 5 lugs are better than one slot car nut ? Never seen so many tires falling off. Don't need Goodyear, they can't get a reading in 100 yards. Lol
Sorry Bowman, but you just lost the last of the respect that I had for you.
Your complaint about blocking, and insinuating that the race results were manipulated, makes you sound like a conspiracy theorist fan, instead of a race car driver.
Blocking… regardless of who does it…has always been a part of racing.
If you don't want to be blocked, then bump and run.
Quit whining.
Am I happy that Dillon won? No.
But that's the breaks of racing.
Alex need some cheese to go with that whine…..give me a break…That's racing guy!!
All of the Hendrick drivers think everyone needs to get out of their way.
Kinda like how Hendrick pulled race manipulation at Martinsville?
Alex Bowman admits that maybe he just needed to b3 better… to take care of his tires better. I don’t hear any controversial statements claims from Bowman here.
Kenny, I appreciate this video. Perhaps the Bowmen crew could have used some speed parts from Jeg’s Racing Supply to have been in the ballpark to catch said 3! 😂 I love ya man! What a run for RCR.
Boo Hoo
So many dumb commenters. Listen to the clip! Every driver hits the button and says crazy stuff during a race. Even your favorite driver, which is probably Denny.
It's called racing. Earn your spots. The other drivers are RACING for points also.
Teammates giving other guys hard time passing happens every week
keep whining
