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.

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.
