[autotag]Hendrick Motorsports[/autotag] has made a decision regarding [autotag]Alex Bowman[/autotag]’s disqualification at the Charlotte ROVAL. On Monday afternoon, Hendrick Motorsports announced it won’t appeal NASCAR’s decision to disqualify Bowman for being underweight in the post-race inspection. The organization took the blame for the No. 48 car being underweight.
Bowman initially finished in 18th place and clinched a spot in the Round of 8. After the Hendrick Motorsports driver’s disqualification, Joey Logano re-entered the NASCAR playoff picture. Logano failed to make it on points after Tyler Reddick drove through the field on fresh tires during the last green-flag run on Sunday afternoon.
It is a disappointing reality for Bowman, who did everything right through the first five playoff events. Hendrick Motorsports will have three drivers in the Round of 8 instead of four, which still gives them a great shot at making the Championship 4. Unfortunately for Bowman, he will be on the outside looking in for the last five races.
