‘Surprisingly yet again,’ Alex Bowman found his way to the front and took the checkered flag in Las Vegas. This was Bowman’s fifth win in the last one year, making him the driver with the most wins after defending champ and teammate Kyle Larson.

However, despite winning so many races, it seems Bowman isn’t getting the credit he deserves, neither from fans nor from the media.

If you consider the popular narrative around Alex Bowman, you’d come off learning that he’s just an average racecar driver in a good car who gets lucky by being in the right place at the right time.

But Bowman isn’t an average driver. If he was, he wouldn’t be in the No.48 car. Importantly, he knows that and his team knows that.

Yet there’s something that worries him – Bowman believes he might not get the credit, he deserves come the end of his career.

“The way my career has kind of went, I feel like I’m not that guy that’s going to get looked at as this amazing racecar driver and I’m not sometimes going to get credit that I feel like I might deserve,” Bowman said.

“But it is kind of what it is.”

“He was just mad about losing the race” – Alex Bowman on Kyle Busch

In a recent interview, Alex Bowman revealed he and Kyle Busch had a conversation the day after the brutal post-race radio rant directed towards the race winner.

“I talked to Kyle Monday night. He was just mad to have lost the race,” Bowman recalled.

“He wasn’t mad at me. I didn’t do anything to him. Kyle and I have always raced each other with respect. He was just mad that he lost the race and I was the one on the other end of the rant.”

Bowman described Busch as someone who is “passionate.” It’s just that he was caught on the wrong side of his passion in Vegas.

“I was in the fire on that one, but he basically said he was just mad about losing the race and didn’t mean to be so disrespectful to me,” Bowman clarified.
