Bowman eliminated from Cup playoffs after failing tech at Roval; Logano advances
Alex Bowman has been disqualified from Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at the Charlotte Roval for failing post-race inspection.
Bowman’s No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet failed for being too light. He will be credited with a last-place finish and receive one point.
Bowman crossed the finish line 18th in the Bank of America Roval 400. However, as a result of the disqualification, he has been eliminated from the playoffs. Joey Logano is now in the Round of 8 after initially being eliminated by four points.
Hendrick Motorsports can appeal the penalty.
