Southern 500 Crash Involving Bowman : A crash at the Southern 500 involving Bowman, Suarez, and Burton sparked debate. With 49 laps remaining, Bowman blocked Suarez, causing both cars to spin out and affecting Burton’s run. All three drivers were in contention for good results, but none made the top 30. Suarez called Bowman’s block “dumb,” and Bowman said Suarez always does “something dumb” when they race.After the incident, Daniel Suarez expressed his frustration. Leaving the infield care center, he spoke with Kim Coon. He said Bowman’s double-blocking was a mistake. We work for Chevy. You can block once, but not twice like that. We’ve been racing for over 3.5 hours, so wrecking with 40 laps left is silly. Suarez said, “Just be smart.”
Alex Bowman had thoughts on the situation. He said, “It didn’t work out. He chose to crash us instead of lifting us. Every time I race Suarez, he does something stupid, like his crew chief flipping me off or aggressively blocking me.The argument was about more than just cars. Travis Mack, Suarez’s crew chief at Trackhouse Racing, responded to Bowman’s comments on X (formerly known as Twitter). Mack denied flipping off Bowman and suggested making charity T-shirts together. He did this because Bowman has done something similar before, with race proceeds going to animal shelters.
