Alex Bowman took to Instagram to share that his fiancé Chloe Henderson vetoed him competing in the Chili Bowl in 2027.
Bowman posted, “Chilibowl cars are about done. Same stuff as last year. New trailer on the way soon, that’ll be the biggest thrash for this year- well hopefully anyway.”
“Third car was for me till Chloe Henderson hit the veto button,” he added.

In the replies, the two had some playful banter with Henderson writing, “3rd chili bowl car for sale!!!”
Bowman replied, “fiancé for sale.”
Bowman also responded to one individual who requested he run more in the dirt. Bowman replied, “I don’t miss spending my 30th birthday in the hospital.”
He also encouraged fans to keep asking Henderson so that maybe he will be able to compete in 2028.
As for who will be piloting two of his cars, Bowman shared that both C.J. Leary and Briggs Danner will pilot them. “Thought about firing C.J. Leary but decided not to. Had to keep Briggs Danner because he rips.”
Bowman talked about his desire to return to Winged Sprint Car racing after he retired from NASCAR following the 2027 season.
In an appearance on SPEED with Harvick and Buxton, Bowman said, “I would like to get back in a Winged Sprint Car. I’m going to fight Chloe on that one. She’s not happy about me wanting to do that. Especially with how the last time I drove one went.”
“Really just want to drive things that are fun and enjoyable to drive without the everyday microscope pressure that is the Cup Series. Cup racing can be really fun when things are going really well, but when things aren’t going well, it is tough. Kind of going racing without the pressure and getting to drive fun stuff is kind of what I’m looking for.”
Bowman stepped away from Sprint Car racing after he injured his back during a High Limit race at 34 Raceway in April 2023.

In an interview with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio in December 2023, he shared that he would not be back in a Sprint Car for the foreseeable future, but was interested in competing with the World of Outlaws when his NASCAR career was over, “I won’t be in a Winged Sprint Car for the foreseeable future. I would say when I’m done Cup racing, I would love to do the Outlaw tour. It’s just going to be something that I’m going to push off until I’m at that point in my life where it’s what I want to do and it’s not going to take away from anything else.”
