We’ve acquired some controversy in NASCAR with playoffs persevering with.
Alex Bowman drives the No. 48 automobile for Hendrick Motorsports, and he completed 18th in Sunday’s Cup Sequence race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and he was No. 8, all set to advance within the Spherical of 8 playoffs. He was all set to maneuver ahead … however then he was disqualified. What occurred?
Right here’s the reply: his automobile failed the post-race inspection provided that it was too gentle.
“Sadly, the 48 had a problem (and) didn’t meet minimal weight,” NASCAR Cup Sequence managing director Brad Moran mentioned, through NASCAR.com. “We put the automobile to the aspect. We continued on. We … gave them the chance to gasoline the automobile in addition to purge the water system and add water. So we gave them each alternative to make minimal weight. We ran them again via. Sadly, they had been gentle once more. They’re allowed a 0.5% weight break, which is for utilization of fluids and so forth. That’s about 17 kilos.”

All hope isn’t misplaced but. If there’s an attraction — Hendrick Motorsports mentioned they might submit one — then Bowman might come again if there’s a reversal.
However for now, Joey Logano superior.
