Nailed the interview for a very competitive role at my current company. Now im obsessing and need a realistic POV. A weirdly serendipitous story to follow

So i work for a liquor distributor as a sales rep. I've been in my position for 3 years now and Im incredibly bored. I found a new management position opened up and I applied. Slightly out of my reach but I have many other experiences that definitely make up for my lack in management skills.

So my Regional manager (my direct boss's boss) put in a great word for me with the man doing the hiring for the position. However despite this, i didnt expect to hear anything because I had heard over 200 people applied for this one position and many others told me that current managers were even applying because this position was a liason position between our company and a huge national brand.

Well Froday rolls around (3/1) and we have a regional team meeting. We were called in early to go to a separate branch meeting for resume building and interviewing skills. Well what do you know, the guy doing the hiring for the position is giving the class. I was a little frustrated because at this point i hadnt heard anything about the position but took my notes. I got home later that night and got an email that I had gotten the interview! So you bet over the weekend I redid my resume and wrote notes based on the class he did. My interview was the first he was conducting on monday.

Monday rolls around and Im pumped and ready. I knocked it out of the fucking park, i swear. I could tell they were impressed and I rode that post interview high all the way home and wrote my typical post interview thank yous. From the interview I also got some great info.

Out of everyone that applied, they interviewed 10-12 people between Monday and Tuesday. I also always ask about their hiring timeline and they said they would be narrowing down to 3-5 people for a final interview in a different city (its a position that has one person in each market for the state) on Friday (3/8). So thats pretty fast. I assume since interviews ended yesterday, people can expect to hear something today? Ive been a bundle of nerves all damn day and havw made myself sick.

This is a corporate setting so usually im contacted by an HR representative. Is it out of line to email the HR rep and ask for a general timeline? I usually like to assert me interest in the position but I dont like being pushy by any means.

I can also just wait, but Im stressing myself out to the max.

TL;DR i interviewed for a highly competitive promotion and did awesome. Waiting for a response when I know the next interview phase is said to be this Friday and interviews were finished yesterday. Politically correct to reach out to the HR rep?
