Alex Bowman: “Alrighty that’s enough I’m already in trouble for this post.”
The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series concluded on Sunday with the Championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Alex Bowman will now enter the 2027 as his final season before retirement.
Connor Zilisch has already signed to take over the No. 48 car for the 2028 season. This week, it was announced that crew chief Blake Harris is departing the team.

After Sunday’s checkered flag, Bowman posted a season recap. He addressed a multitude of rumors.
Among those, the internet has speculated that Bowman will not return in 2026. However, the driver confirms that he will be back in February. And, he’ll cross the 400 start threshold next year.
Alex Bowman reflects on the 2026 season
“2026 seasons over. Somehow ended it by speeding on pit road without being even close to going over my lights. That kind of feels like a fitting end to this year honestly,” Alex Bowman opened.
“All the right intentions and work with nothing to show for it. Oh and yeah Reddit I know we didn’t even lead a lap, neither did you. (Allegedly this comment has really stirred up the people on the Reddit. They should be better at reading sarcasm).”
“Congrats to everybody at Team Hendrick on another championship. Happy for Kyle Larson Racing and honestly glad he won again so he can afford to keep flying William Byron and I around on his plane. I’m excited for 2027, even though the internet says I won’t be there?”
“I’m going to challenge myself to take you guys along for more of the ride for the next year. It’s no secret that I don’t enjoy social media. It’s tough to be me on it honestly, but I’ll do my best to give you guys some better insight into the next 365 days. No promises after that though.”
“Ps been a lot of fun working with Blake Harris even though you guys were mostly complete [expletive] to him. He’s gonna kick [expletive] on his next deal and I couldn’t be happier for him.”
Bowman concluded, “Alrighty that’s enough I’m already in trouble for this post.”
