Underweight Herbst earns Roval DQ, finalizing Round of 8 standings

Riley Herbst and the No. 35 team from 23XI Racing have been disqualified from Sunday’s race at the Charlotte Roval for failing post-race inspection.

Herbst’s car was chosen at random by NASCAR for post-race inspection and failed to meet the required weight. The disqualification moved Herbst from a 30th-place finish at the checkered flag to last in the finishing order at 37th position. The team will be awarded one point.

NASCAR gave the all-clear to the rest of the post-race inspection Sunday night to finalize the results of the Bank of America Roval 400, as well as the drivers who advanced into the Round of 8.

Shane van Gisbergen is officially the winner of the event, marking his fifth win of the season. He became the second driver to win five consecutive road course races in the Cup Series alongside Jeff Gordon, and is the first driver to earn his first six wins in the series on road courses.

The drivers in the Round of 8 include the reigning series champion Joey Logano – the defending winner of the next event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Others in the Round of 8 include past champions Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott. Those seeking their first title are Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Christopher Bell, and Chase Briscoe.
