Alex Bowman was disqualified from the playoffs for his car failing to meet postrace weight requirements, allowing Joey Logano to take his spot.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kyle Larson didn’t get to race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May, missing a race that contributed to him coming up short for the regular-season title. His victory Sunday at the track solidified him as the championship favorite. Larson led 62 of the 109 laps for his sixth Cup victory of 2024 as he cruised to the triumph on the Charlotte road course, a combination of the oval and an infield portion of the facility.
Cup Series rules require the car to be 3,400-3,500 pounds, depending on the weight of the driver. The team gets 0.5 percent — about 17 pounds — of tolerance after a race but the Bowman car still did not make weight. The team was allowed to add fuel to the car and purge the water system and put in new water. 'We ran it back on and unfortunately it was the same weight,'
Cup Series Director Brad Moran said. 'The car had a weight issue. ... That ends up in a disqualification.' Because of the possible appeal, Moran would not say how much weight the car was below specifications. Larson Champ Favorite The quotes might reek of swagger but they were more matter-of-fact as Larson now has twice as many wins as any other driver this season. Larson: 'The field knows that we're strong. I think the field knows that we could win at any track.
