What about Bowman?

I have to say that I have come to like Alex Bowman. I can see why Dale Jr. hand picked him to replace him in the #88. Even thought he drives for HMS he seems like a good guy. Someone really messed up. Knocked him out of the playoffs. I think I would hold his crew chief responsible. I were Hendrick that crew chief would be moving on.

I am just surprised that Asscar did anything to him since he wears the HMS logo. I guess they figured with all the teams already smelling something rotten in Denmark, that they better come up with something.
You remember me saying about they have been allowed extra HP all year, well when Larson would come off the road part and on to the regular track, he would completely run away from the rest of the field. He didn't do it on the course, just when he hit the track, he seemed to find a lot more HP than anyone else had. Just my take, but think about it.

Well, he was 17 lbs. too light AND HMS isn’t appealing it. They apologized to the fans.

“Hendrick Motorsports will not appeal the disqualification of the No. 48 car following Sunday’s race at the Charlotte ROVAL. NASCAR allows a clear margin to account for the difference in pre- and post-race weight. After a thorough review by our team and the sanctioning body, we simply did not give ourselves enough margin to meet the post-race requirement. Although unintentional, the infraction was avoidable. We are extremely disappointed to lose a playoff spot under these circumstances and apologize to our fans and partners.”

Bubba Wallace cut the course. He was issued a penalty and required to come to a full stop in the chicane on the next lap.

However, in the same clip, William Byron also cut the course. Byron was not issued a penalty.

Yep, same thing different result. Two weeks ago Josh Berry had 4 flats and had to be towed. He was given the DVP (disable vehicle policy) which is rule. Nothing else wrong, just couldn't drive on 4 flats. OUT OF RACE. Next week at Dega, Elliott had flat tires, damaged body and was TOWED IN, into his pits. The DVP policy says, if You are on the hook, You are DVP. So, just another fact of the favoritism for Good ole HMS.
