Hendrick Motorsports Vice Chairman Jeff Gordon said Tuesday that Alex Bowman and the No. 48 team “cut it too close” in regard to the minimum weight of the car leading to their disqualification from Sunday’s Bank of America Roval 400 at Charlotte.

Hendrick Motorsports chose not to appeal the penalty. “We looked at all the facts, and we didn’t feel like there’s really anything that we felt comfortable appealing and we’re going to move on,” Gordon said.

Loose lug nut violations are the second-most frequent DQ, and are the only violations to have occurred in all three series. Bowman’s DQ marked the third weight violation in Cup and overall, and all of those DQs have occurred in the Next Gen era.
