Tony Stewart, the famed Eldora Speedway owner and NASCAR Hall of Famer, made news today with a shockingly direct and critical evaluation of Alex Bowman’s recent racing performance. In a post-race interview, Stewart was forthright about what he saw as certain drivers’ growing lack of competitive edge.
Bowman is a good driver, but lately he’s been far too comfortable. In this sport, you can’t just coast through a race and hope to finish first. Stewart expressed his desire to prevent young drivers from being accustomed to subpar performance. Without holding back, the racing legend used Bowman as an illustration of “what not to do” on the racetrack.
According to reports, Bowman was irritated by the remarks because he has been inconsistent lately. Bowman’s supporters defended their driver in response to Stewart’s public outcry, while some fans applauded Stewart for his tough stance on holding racers accountable.
Stewart has already voiced his opinions about what he views as poor performances. Stewart, who is well-known for his feisty demeanor, has consistently spoken in favor of a more aggressive racing style, something he feels the current generation is lacking. Although Bowman hasn’t spoken in public yet, rumors circulate that the two NASCAR stars are becoming tense.
Many are curious to see if Bowman will step up to the plate or if this would further stoke tensions between his camp and Stewart’s as the drama plays out. In any case, Stewart’s scathing criticism has fueled the NASCAR fire.
