Tempers flared after the NASCAR Cup Series race on the Chicago street course last weekend after Alex Bowman took the checkered flag.

During stage 2 of the Grant Park 165, before the race was red flagged for around 2 hours due to rain, Bowman got into Bubba Wallace and sent the #23 car spinning, causing significant damage to Bubba's car and ending any chance he had of winning in Chicago.

LOND POND, Pa. (AP) — Ryan Blaney still feels like the “silly, quiet kid” he was at 23 when he blazed past Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch over the final 10 laps in 2017 at Pocono Raceway to win a NASCAR Cup race for the first time. At times, not much in life has changed for Blaney. “I still drink a lot of beer,” Blaney said, before waiting a beat, “probably more.” Blaney chuckled at the thought, but the reality is, at the track he’s long outgrown the mold of a rising NASCAR star. At 30, he’s a certified one as a NASCAR champion and serves as a bit of an elder statesman, promoting the sport this week coast-to-coast from the ESPYS to the “ Today ” show.
