Alex Bowman has had a rough 2023 Cup Series season. It didn't begin that way. The No. 48 started as one of the fastest cars in the garage, recording six top 10s in the season's first seven races (three of them top fives). But a back injury suffered during a mid-week sprint car race in April derailed the Hendrick Motorsports team.

Since then, Bowman has just a pair of top-10 finishes. Two. Last weekend at Darlington, he was in position late to add a third, running eighth and battling with Daniel Suarez when a poor choice to make a second block on the Trackhouse car proved costly, taking out both cars. After the race, both drivers called out the other for "dumb" moves. Bowman even went out of his way to mention that Suarez's crew chief had flipped him off in the past.

Up in the Peacock Pit Box, Dale Jarrett heard those remarks. He couldn't help himself and responded, taking direct aim Bowman for his comments, suggesting the HMS driver and others in today's NASCAR are "too sensitive."
