Bowman Gray Erupts: Burt Myers vs. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Ignites NASCAR’s Newest Rivalry

Bowman Gray never disappoints—and the 2025 edition of The Madhouse delivered yet another night of chaos, carnage, and controversy. But one incident stole the show—Burt Myers vs. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., a wreck that sent the Bowman Gray faithful into a frenzy and left Stenhouse public enemy #1 once again.

For those who thought Ricky Stenhouse Jr. couldn’t top his 2024 All-Star Race brawl with Kyle Busch, think again. This time, he tangled with Bowman Gray legend Burt Myers, and the backlash was instant, furious, and relentless.

The Wreck That Set ‘The Madhouse’ on Fire

Burt Myers, an 11-time Bowman Gray Modified Champion, was making a heroic charge through the field in the Last Chance Qualifier. Climbing to eighth place in the 75-lap brawl, Myers was positioning himself for a Cinderella moment.

Then, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. happened.

The #47 Chevrolet driver made contact with Myers, sending him hard into the wall. The wreck triggered a red flag, and as the dust settled, the fans let Stenhouse know exactly how they felt.

The Bowman Gray crowd unleashed a storm of middle fingers, booing Stenhouse with a level of pure, unfiltered NASCAR rage that hadn’t been seen since the infamous Busch-Stenhouse scuffle.

And Team AmeriVet wasn’t about to let it slide.

“Where You At, Stenhouse?” – The Online Callout That Had Everyone Talking

Moments after the race, Team AmeriVet fired the first shot on X (formerly Twitter). They posted a throwback to Stenhouse’s 2024 punch on Kyle Busch, captioned with a brutal challenge:

“Where you at, @StenhouseJr?”

For those who remember, Stenhouse waited outside Busch’s trailer after the 2024 All-Star Race, delivering a sucker punch that instantly went viral. So, when Stenhouse wrecked another fan favorite, the internet had déjà vu.

But Stenhouse wasn’t backing down. He fired back with a cocky response:

“Was there after the race for a while—should have come over then.”

Translation? Stenhouse was daring Myers to step up.

But given Myers’ history, Stenhouse was probably safer staying away.

Burt Myers: From Heroic Comeback to Heartbreaking Exit

Before the wreck, Myers was putting on a masterclass in short-track survival. After failing to qualify in the heat races, he made a valiant charge through the LCQ field, proving why he’s one of Bowman Gray’s greatest champions.

Despite the devastating finish, Myers took the high road—but not without throwing some shade.

“It was definitely the #47. His bumper and I’m in the infield, so I guess that tells the story,” Myers said.

He admitted he’d have to watch the replay to see if Stenhouse’s move was intentional, but NASCAR fans had already made up their minds—and Stenhouse’s villain status was fully reinstated.

Freddie Kraft: “Stenhouse Just Got 30,000 Middle Fingers”

Even Bubba Wallace’s spotter, Freddie Kraft, couldn’t help but laugh at the level of hatred Bowman Gray fans had for Stenhouse.

“Damn, I thought Bubba got a lot of middle fingers. I think that was about 30k for Ricky. I hope he’s got armed security to get out of there tonight.”

It’s not just on-track aggression that fuels NASCAR—it’s the drama, the grudges, the bitter rivalries that make this sport must-watch entertainment. And right now, Stenhouse Jr. is the ultimate NASCAR villain.

The Verdict: Is Stenhouse Jr. The New ‘Bad Boy’ of NASCAR?

After punching Kyle Busch in 2024 and wrecking Burt Myers in 2025, Stenhouse has fully embraced his role as NASCAR’s chaos agent.

But here’s the thing:
🔹 Love him or hate him, you can’t ignore him.
🔹 Fans show up to see him win—or crash trying.
🔹 And as long as he’s making headlines, he’s winning the popularity war (or villain war).

With the 2025 season just kicking off, one thing is for sure—Ricky Stenhouse Jr. isn’t done making enemies.

And NASCAR? It’s better for it.
