Kyle Busch appears to be not a fan of the potential NASCAR race at Bowman Grey. NASCAR recently took control of the iconic Bowman Grey track after acquiring Winston-Salem Speedway Inc. The premier stock car racing organization will manage the track until 2050 based on the current lease agreement. Following the announcement, rumors circulated about the possibility of the track hosting a race in the 2025 season.
Before the COTA Cup race, the two-time NASCAR Cup champion was asked about the prospect of racing at Bowman Grey. Busch, a driver for RCR, was unimpressed with the proposal and sarcastically commented on the rumors. He expressed that the chaos that would come with the track would provide more entertainment for NASCAR fans.
NASCAR has taken over as the promoter of Bowman Gray Stadium. Cup drivers have expressed various opinions about the potential of racing there. Hear from Busch, Elliott, Keselowski, Dillon, Berry, and Logano:
Busch indirectly makes a strong argument against racing at Bowman Grey by praising it. Fans are already frustrated with the excessive contact that occurs at the LA Clash, and the BG race would likely be even worse. None of the late model races at the track have ended without incidents, and the same can be expected.
The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion also shared his thoughts on a potential race at the track. He emphasized that a race at Bowman Grey would be similar to the Clash, and he is not a fan of races with excessive bumping. Elliott stated that the track is too small for the current Cup cars to race on.
The majority of the NASCAR Cup grid does not seem interested in the idea of racing at Bowman Grey with the current cup car. There is a significant possibility that NASCAR would face embarrassment if they were to race at Bowman Grey, as it could turn into a wreck fest. Regardless of how entertaining it may be, it would not reflect well on the sport if the race unfolded in such a manner.
