Rick Hendrick's Staggering $500,000 Setback Shifts Focus on Justin Marks Feud, Unearthing a Fresh Rivalry in the Background
NASCAR
The playoffs opener in Darlington remained as nail-biting as the regular-season showdown at Daytona. However, the race seemed to be a replay of the race from the spring race of Darlington, as rivalries from the two Chevrolet teams intensified for the second time.
The Incident
The incident occurred with just 49 laps to go when Alex Bowman aggressively tried to block Suarez twice. In the process of blocking Suarez, the #48 made contact with the wall and sustained heavy damage to the car, a probable estimate of the damage could amount to $500,000.
Bowman's Justification
Commenting upon the incident, in the post-race interview, Alex Bowman expressed to NBC, “Obviously, it didn’t work out. He chose not to lift and to crash us. Every time I race [Suarez], he does something dumb, whether it’s his crew chief flipping me off on the way to the airport or any time I’m around him, he blocks me really aggressively."
With nine more races left, it is to be seen how these two drivers engage and react to each other on track. Will the Larson-Chastain feud be substituted with the Bowman-Suarez fiasco, or will they shake hands and look forward to a fresher start?
