Seems like the sensitivity training didn't work. Lol.

This is why I will never like KB no matter how good of a driver he is. Bowman's win may seem to some like a fluke, but the thing that bugs me about "fluke wins" is there are 40 cars out there. You may not be someone that dominates the race, but if you put yourself in a good position you can win, you don't get wins by being a bad driver, even if you aren't a guy who dominates a bunch of races.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Kyle Busch Motorsports back into a win Friday night in the Truck Series? Chandler Smith was running 5th with 9 laps to go when the #51 just happened to wreck the #98 to bring out a caution. Restart with 3 to go and he just happens to win the race. I don't hear Kyle Busch complaining about that. Lol.

Disclaimer: This was meant to be a joke. Since I know the #98 came down and basically wrecked himself.

I'm glad Bowman has a sense of humor about it

How is Bowman's win a fluke?

Dude rolls around in the top 4 most of the day, wins stage 1, falls to 19th to be off cycle for stage 2 and comes back at the end of the day.

That looks like a really dull and boring win. That's what you want as a driver.
