Robby Gordon docked 50 driver/owner points: NASCAR has issued
penalties to the No. 7 team that competes in the Sprint Cup Series as
a result of rules violations committed at Lowe’s Motor Speedway
earlier this week. The No. 7 Toyota, driven and owned by Robby Gordon,
was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to
stock car racing); 12-4I (any determination by NASCAR Officials that
the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR
rules); and 20-10.6H (rear axle housing exceeded the maximum specified
toe of plus or minus one degree) of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Rule Book. The violation was found during post-race inspection on May
25. As a result, Gordon has been penalized with the loss of 50
championship owner and 50 championship driver points. Crew chief Kirk
Almquist has been fined $50,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until
Dec. 31.(NASCAR PR)
