In light of recent rumors surrounding Alex Bowman’s future with Hendrick Motorsports, vice chairman Jeff Gordon recently spoke out to address the speculation. As Bowman heads into the NASCAR playoffs, questions arose about whether the #48 Chevrolet driver would lose his spot and potentially switch to Spire Motorsports for the upcoming season. This discussion gained traction after Bowman ended an 80-race winless streak and secured his playoff position as the #12 seed.
While there is some uncertainty regarding his performance moving forward, Bowman is under contract with Hendrick Motorsports through at least next year. However, according to Fox Sports reporter Bob Pockrass, it’s crucial for Bowman to avoid any significant errors throughout the rest of the season.
During a recent interview on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Gordon, who has a net worth of $200 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, addressed these rumors. He dismissed the speculation and reaffirmed his belief in Bowman and his crew chief, Blake Harris. Gordon emphasized that he is confident in their ability to make a strong playoff push and possibly contend for the championship.
The NASCAR legend also pointed out that rumors like this tend to circulate during the “silly season” when drivers from major teams aren’t performing at the expected level, making it a common part of the racing world.
