“We’re gonna drink so much damn bourbon tonight. I’m probably gonna wake up naked on the bathroom floor again.” Did I just become a Bowman fan?!

I don't blame Bubba for being mad, but, can't do stuff like that man.

nope. I get being angry, but that’s not much different than what Hocevar did to Burton. Bubba really doesn’t handle adversity well on the track.

Yeah. I like him but he makes it hard sometimes lol.

I respect the loyalty. I don’t see how ya do it. He makes himself about as likable as Denny without any of the stats to back it up lol

I think they'll do something because the window nets were down, which has been a big deal with safety-based penalties in the past, when he door slammed him. I doubt there's any kind of points penalty or anything, and there definitely won't (shouldn't be) be a suspension. I'm thinking he'll get a pretty small fine and that'll be it.

Apparently Hailee Deegan has removed AM Racing from her social media bios....thinking this thing might be over.

Respect to Bowman for that. Holding himself accountable for what happened and everything.

https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2...an-am-racing-part-ways-effective-immediately/ Guess I should've checked a bit deeper. it's been official for over an hour. Not sure who takes that car for the rest of the season, but Deegan is out.

Yeah they will do something for sure, small fine. They shown recently they aren’t gonna suspend drivers for just everything with the last two accidents that happened that just got like fine and maybe points?

I will say the in car camera of the deal made it look not as bad. I still hope this dude can mellow out.
