Robby Gordon puts a little drama in Nascar

[OUTLAW]

Robby Gordon was suspended by NASCAR for the Nextel Cup race at Pocono on Sunday because of his misconduct on the race track at the Busch Series race in Canada.

Gordon refused to forfeit his position on the track when ordered to by NASCAR late in Saturday's race. Officials said Gordon intentionally knocked Marcos Ambrose out of the race, and then refused to pull off the track as ordered.

"It certainly is way over the line when it comes to conduct on the track and doing what is expected of the driver to keep the event orderly," said NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp. "He cannot be in the garage area."

P.J. Jones will drive the No. 7 Ford for the Pennsylvania 500 and will start at the rear of the field.

Tharp said NASCAR will determine Gordon's status for the race at Watkins Glen this week.

Gordon also celebrated as if he had won the event, doing victory burnouts and pumping his fist at the crowd at the same time as winner Kevin Harvick.

Gordon did cross the finish line first, though the results showed he finished 18th based on the amount of laps he completed when he was disqualified. Gordon also refused to acknowledge the black flag that NASCAR waved at him every time he crossed the line over the final few laps.




"I did the most laps, I was the first car to complete them, I won the race," Gordon said. "We came here to win the race, and that's what we did."

Gordon was summoned to meet with NASCAR officials after he climbed out of his car.

NASCAR suspended Kevin Harvick from a Cup race in 2002 because of an altercation during a truck series race.

There's an old adage that goes something like,.........."If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything."

Regarding Robby Gordon.................... nice weather we're having, eh?

I'am not a Robby Gordon fan but..............

MASCAR'S own rule says the field is frozen when the caution flag comes out. He was in the lead when the last caution was displayed and should have restarted in the first position. (The relays clearly show this)

NASCAR screwed him out of a win but they'll never admit it. Had he been driving for DEI, Roush, Gibb or Hendrick, the outcome would have been much different.
