Ever since Kyle Busch lost his sponsorship, many rumors of him joining a different team poured in. Amid all this, there was one team that the fans wanted him to drive for next year, and that was Hendrick Motorsports. Surprisingly enough, the team wasn’t even one of the rumored teams which Busch was talking to.
Amid all this, one fan felt Alex Bowman didn’t deserve to be driving the #48 car, and Busch should talk to Mr. H to replace him. Naturally, when the driver announced his contract with Richard Childress Racing, all rumors of the JGR driving returning to his former team were shut down.

But Bowman has something to say on this.
The driver of the #48 car recently revealed that he never felt his position at Hendrick Motorsports was threatened. But he singled out “one guy” who was surely disappointed.
Alex Bowman saw and heard all the silly season rumors trying to put Kyle Busch in his car. Now that Busch is off the market and Bowman never doubted his place with HMS and Ally: "One guy [on social] in particular is really disappointed. Maybe he'll get over it someday."

Of course, the fans know who he is talking about.
Hate to make him famous but @CJJohns37859982 is the one

This person was one of the first people to say Busch should replace Bowman. And plenty of fans were against him, too. In fact, one fan even called him a “Chase Elliott inbred”.

And plenty of others called him out on his antics.

And we all know exactly who that “one guy” is. His obsession with Bowman is so strange and creepy.

It’s a big W for me and a huge L to my harrasers who harassed me bc I said Busch would not go to the 48

That bowman hater is a clown. I personally hope Bowman outdoes Chase in the playoffs. That'd simmer him down a well off bit.

This was a pretty fun and exciting chapter in Kyle Busch’s sponsorship fiasco. But did you know that Busch actually yelled at Bowman once?

The 2022 race at Las Vegas was the first win Alex got this season. Of course, it was a great thing for the #48, but not so much for the #18 car.

In fact, Busch even cussed him out on the radio as he ranted, “The same f*cking guy who backs into every f*cking win that he ever f*cking gets backs into another f*cking win. Bullsh*t!”
Luckily, they sorted it out as Alex revealed, “Everything’s good, everything’s fine. He was just mad to lose the race. I totally understand that. I did nothing to him besides take the race away. I don’t think there’s an issue between him and I.”
But what do you think about Busch heading to Hendrick Motorsports? Should he have replaced Bowman there?
