Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer were the NASCAR stars at this year’s Super Bowl. The entire sports community was captivated by the exciting Super Bowl showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas. The Chiefs, led by the MVP, made a remarkable comeback after losing the lead in the first quarter, ultimately winning the game 26-22 in overtime, breaking the hearts of 49ers fans and the team.
Among the reported 70,000 fans in attendance at Allegiant Stadium, there were two NASCAR legends. Jeff Gordon, a four-time NASCAR Cup champion and the vice chairman of Hendrick Motorsports, showed his support for his favorite team, the 49ers, who have not won a Super Bowl in the past three decades. Clint Bowyer, a former rival of Gordon and a Fox Sports broadcaster, is a long-time Chiefs fan and also attended the event. While Bowyer celebrated for the second year in a row, Gordon left the Super Bowl feeling disappointed. Bowyer took a playful jab at Gordon on social media, posting a picture of them together with Post Malone and joking about Gordon’s belief that he could defeat the Chiefs.
Gordon, upon seeing Bowyer’s post, playfully responded, acknowledging Bowyer’s ability to spoil the Super Bowl experience for him. He also expressed his unwavering loyalty to the 49ers with a hashtag declaring his support for the team.
Both racers have a busy week ahead as the Daytona 500, the opening race of the 2024 NASCAR season, is scheduled for next Sunday. Gordon will be focused on ensuring his Hendrick Motorsports drivers have competitive cars capable of winning the event, while Bowyer will be responsible for providing fans with comprehensive coverage of the race week.
