Hendrick Motorsports may have announced Monday that the NASCAR Cup Series organization will not file an appeal on Alex Bowman\u2019s disqualification a day earlier following the Round of 12 elimination event at Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About three hours after believing the No. 48 Chevrolet team earned a spot into next weekend\u2019s Round of 8 opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Bowman received word that his machine failed post-race inspection for being 17 pounds too light. He placed P18 during the Bank of America ROVAL 400.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials addressed the situation in a press release: \u201cNASCAR allows a clear margin to account for the difference in pre- and post-race weight. After a thorough review by our team and the sanctioning body, we simply did not give ourselves enough margin to meet the post-race requirement. Although unintentional, the infraction was avoidable. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We are extremely disappointed to lose a playoff spot under these circumstances and apologize to our fans and partners.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two-time Cup champion Joey Logano replaced Bowman in the Round of 8.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NASCAR Cup Series managing director Brad Moran can't get into the details and exact weight because there is an appeals process but he explained the process over the Alex Bowman minimum weight disqualification. pic.twitter.com\/lMg15JmqH7<\/a><\/p>\n
