Hendrick Motorsports vice chairman Jeff Gordon acknowledges that the organization did not find grounds to appeal on behalf of Alex Bowman and the No. 48 team, following Bowman’s disqualification from the Charlotte Roval race due to his car being too light in post-race inspection. The exact details of the weight discrepancy have not been disclosed by NASCAR or Hendrick Motorsports. Bowman was penalized to last place in the finishing order, losing his playoff eligibility. Despite the thorough inspection of the car, no additional issues were identified. Gordon expressed disappointment and embarrassment over the situation, and Hendrick Motorsports has accepted the outcome and will not appeal. Bowman is the only Hendrick driver now out of championship contention, after what initially seemed like a successful race day was marred by the weight violation.
