I was extreamly disapointed to see that Nascar took detrimental actions to The No. 7 car, driven and owned by Robby Gordon, based on the based on (actions detrimental to stock car racing)(car, car parts, components and/or equipment used do not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-3.10A (unapproved front bumper cover) of the 2008 NASCAR rule book. The violations were found during opening day inspection for the Daytona 500 on Feb. 8. This puts him into a bad postition scrambling to make up ground to get into the top 35 by event 5. Some thought should have went into this as it was a last minute switch to a new dodge format and gem's shipping him un approved parts that put him in this position. Corrective action was taken before qualifying and racing so Nascar really should have been given some slack on this one.
As a result, Gordon has been penalized 100 championship driver and owner points.
