HMS superstar comments on “baby-faced assassin” teammate William Byron and $12M-worth Espresso singer Sabrina Carpenter

Alex Bowman, who drives for Hendrick Motorsports, weighed in on the potential romantic exchange between William Byron and Sabrina Carpenter (worth $12 million, according to celebritynetworth.com). Bowman called Byron a "baby face assassin".

Byron, after winning the Daytona 500 for consecutive years running, addressed a social media rumor linking him to Sabrina Carpenter. After a parody account, "The Daily Downfords" created a fake screenshot of the driver commenting under the pop star’s IG post, the Daytona 500 winner clarified that it was false and a work of Photoshop. Despite this, in an interview with TMZ, Byron took the opportunity to extend an invitation to the young heartthrob to attend a NASCAR race.

"They do a really good job with Photoshop nowadays. It was a good parody account -- it's like that NBA Centel account. They did a good job."

He continued:

"Maybe we can get her out to a race or something, that would be great. Or I can get to a show. That would be fun.

The exchange happened after a busy media tour for Byron as he made appearances on WWE Monday Night Raw and other media events.

Bowman, the 31-year-old Hendrick Motorsports driver, commented on this viral romantic exchange. Alan Cavanna, a NASCAR reporter, shared on X, what Bowman said in a post:

“If he makes that happen he’s just winning at life. He’s a baby-faced assassin”- @Alex_Bowman, on @WilliamByron and Sabrina Carpenter

Multimedia storyteller, Steven Taranto, who works for CBS Sports also posted the video of Bowman on X with his message to Byron.

Bowman had a strong second half in the 2024 season. He achieved a career-high 17 top-ten finishes and matched his best with eight top-five finishes. The driver holds the fifth spot in 2025 with 42 points.
