Alex Bowman was disqualified from the Charlotte Roval race on Sunday night and removed from the next round of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
Alex Bowman thought he had wrapped up a NASCAR Cup Series playoff spot on Sunday when he finished in 18th place and won Stage 2 in the Bank of America Roval 400 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course.
About two hours after the race, Bowman was forced to pump the brakes.
NASCAR determined that Bowman’s No. 48 vehicle failed to meet the minimum weight requirement in his post-race inspection.
