Alex Bowman Reveals the Only “Downside” of Driving for Hendrick Motorsports as He Wishes for “The Fastest Race Car”

If you were asked to pick one driver who is objectively and subjectively the most divisive one, chances are you’d pick Alex Bowman. The Hendrick Motorsports driver, who is believed to be No.4 in the pecking order in Mr. H’s team, has had a career of promising expectations, and race wins, but never the right acclaim.

So you’d think that Bowman’s answer to a question involving three wishes or rules he could make or change would have an answer related to how he is perceived at the top.

But that’s not the case.

Because for the #48 driver, there are other important things, issues that need to be more prioritized.

You see, the thing is, Alex Bowman is a big advocate for animal rights, something that is reflected in his answer too about if he could change certain rules in the world.

“Well, all homeless pets would have to have homes right off the rip. We do a lot for animal shelters and animal welfare and did a bunch of stuff this week. So that’d be neat,” he replied.

“Rule No. 2 is dogs can fly on any airplane. That is literally the only downside of driving for Hendrick Motorsports is I can’t fly my dogs with me.”

As for the third rule, Bowman wishes to have “the fastest car.” 

“Those would be my three rules,” he concluded.

In an interview earlier this year, Alex Bowman opened up on his thoughts on his three teammates, all three of which are stars in their own right.

“Kyle is super blunt. Obviously, he likes to race a lot of other things, and he’s just super fast and can always seem to make the race car work,” Bowman said of the defending Cup Series champion.

“Chase (Elliott) is kind of quiet and reserved and William (Byron) is like my little brother that I love to pick on. From my side, at least, I think he wants to burn my house down, but I thoroughly enjoy picking on him sometimes,” he added.

“And then I’m obviously the best looking one.”
