Joey Logano went through a roller coaster of emotions during last weekend's Round of 12 elimination race at the Charlotte Roval. He watched helplessly as Tyler Reddick charged through the field on fresh tires, slashing away at the points deficit while Logano could not move forward. At the checkered flag, Reddick was ahead by just four points.
However, about 2.5 hours later, everything changed. When Alex Bowman's No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet failed to meet minimum weight requirements in post-race tech, his disqualification and subsequent loss of points pushed him out of the playoffs. Logano's title hopes were instantly revived, taking Bowman's place in the Round of 8.
