Bowman finished 18th on the track in Sunday's race, a cutoff race at the end of the Round of 12 in the playoffs, but is now scored in 38th position. NASCAR Cup Series managing director Brad Moran said the No.

After apparently advancing with an 18th place and a Stage 2 victory, Alex Bowman’s No. 48 Chevrolet was disqualified for failing postrace inspection. Relegated to a last place, Bowman received one point for finishing 38th. He lost 28 points because of the violation, which dropped him from sixth in the points standings to ninth.
