NASCAR disqualifies Alex Bowman's car, putting Joey Logano back into Round of 8

CONCORD, N.C. — Alex Bowman is out of the playoffs after his car failed post-race inspection and was disqualified.

The penalty puts Joey Logano back into the Round of 8 — at this time.

Hendrick Motorsports is expected to appeal, which would be heard this week. If the team wins it, Bowman would be back in the Round of 8.

Brad Moran, managing series director for the Cup Series, said Bowman's car did not meet the minimum weight requirement.
