NASCAR Fans Urge Kyle Busch for a U-Turn Amid Rumors of G*Y

Stewart Haas Racing drivers finding new homes during this silly season was for some time believed to be the big move this year. However, the rumor mills are running again in overdrive, which might lead to the biggest shuffle in the drivers and teams for 2025. Surprisingly, it’s Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman, expected to take an exit from the team.

So basically, these talks about Bowman’s uncertain future started with Brett Griffin’s statement on the DBC podcast show. The industry veteran opined, “I’d say Alex Bowman is out, and he may be out in more than just the playoffs if he’s out first round.” Adding fuel to this fire was journalist Austin Konenski, who believed Alex Bowman was in the hot seat.

“I’ve been skeptical about the entire thing, but it’s been getting louder. Definitely think the seats are warm. The 2026 season could also be a better idea? Very fluid NASCAR silly season stuff!” stated this via his X account. It has to be noted that although Bowman secured his playoff spot with a win at Chicago, he hasn’t exactly turned heads with his performances on the racetrack. If we are, to compare his run to his teammates.

Kyle Larson and William Byron have multiple victories under their belt, while Chase Elliott has been consistent throughout the regular season. However, the No. 48 team considerably continued their struggles over the past two years. And perhaps the win at the Chicago street race was the lucky break they needed. Bowman sits 12th as the driver with the least amount of points and enters the playoffs with a solo win to his name.
