If Alex Bowman and Hendrick Motorsports decide to appeal their disqualification from the Bank of America Roval 400 , the No. 48 wheelman will know whether he’s returned to the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs in short order.
Bowman thought he advanced to the Round of 8 when the checkered flag waved in Charlotte, but that all changed when NASCAR disqualified him over the post-race weight of his car. Joey Logano jumped the No. 48 due to the ruling, but according to motorsports reporter Claire B. Lang , an expedited appeal could change everything, if Hendrick Motorsports goes that route.
At the least, NASCAR is extending the courtesy to Bowman and Hendrick Motorsports, as it’s essential to find out if he’s eligible to compete for the championship in the Round of 8. Some believe the organization has a case, as dashcam footage from another driver showed what appeared to be a significant piece dislodging from Bowman’s car over a bump in the course.
