Today at 08:53 PM

Alex Bowman has been disqualified from Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at the Charlotte Roval for failing post-race inspection.

Bowman's No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet failed for being too light. He will be credited with a last-place finish and receive one point.

Bowman crossed the finish line 18th in the Bank of America Roval 400.

However, as a result of the disqualification, Bowman has been eliminated from the playoffs. Joey Logano is now in the Round of 8 after initially being eliminated by four points.

Hendrick Motorsports can appeal the penalty.
