I know Jet is going to love this..Gordon has to start 42nd because his car failed post race inspection..I guess he'll just have to pass 41 other cars instead of 3 to win..Straight from Nascar.com..
Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president for competition, said bolts had been misaligned on the rear shocks installed prior to Thursday's race. Once the race started, the load on those misaligned bolts caused the car's quarterpanels, but not the roof, to be lower than the minimum allowed height.
"Honestly, I think it's something a mechanic made a mistake on as he bolted the shocks on during the installation process," Pemberton said.
Pemberton added that NASCAR was convinced the infraction was unintentional, and that no fines or point deductions would be warranted.
I know if a rule is broken it's cheating but it still sucks..
