NASCAR took Alex Bowman’s No. 48 car to the R&D Center after the Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway. Following a strong run at Chicagoland, the sport had a closer inspection of Bowman’s vehicle; however, did the Hendrick Motorsports driver receive any penalties?
Bowman’s No. 48 car had no issues at the NASCAR R&D Center, which is the best result from further inspection. In previous years, NASCAR has found issues that cost a race team and driver over 100 points and more, so Bowman receiving the green light is excellent news.
