Right before drivers set out to race in Talladega, Bowman shot out a Tweet to his replacement driver.
He said, “It’s so strange to not be at the racetrack and in the bubble this weekend. Wishing nothing but the best for @allyracing and @NoahGragson today. But yeah please don’t throw up in my car if you win. That [poop emoji] is gross”

That’s hilarious! But why is a driver who won four races in a row in Xfinity Series get recognized for puking in his car? Well, it happened again right after Bristol, when he won the Xfinity Series race and puked in his car. Of course, that brought all the eyes to him.
Surprisingly, though, he has a reason for the vile race celebration.

He has talked about his puking reflexes during his latest appearance on Dirty Mo Media’s podcast, Door, Bumper Clear!
He said, “It really started happening – it was actually Darlington of 2020, that first race back after quarantine. We drink like a case of White Claw every day for like six weeks. We had nothing to do, so we just go hang out at a different person’s house every day and play beer pong and drink a case of White Claw, and I don’t know’if the seltzers burned a hole in my stomach, but I haven’t been the same.”

But it’s still quite hilarious, to be fair. But let’s sure hope he doesn’t make Bowman’s car dirty.
