NASCAR Gordon and Johnson Penalized

Once again, NASCAR showed it will not tolerate modifications to its Car of Tomorrow. They levied stiff penalties against Hendricks Motorsports drivers Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and their crew chiefs Tuesday. The four time series champion, Gordon and the defending Nextel Cup champion, Johnson were each docked 100 points. Crew chiefs Chad Knaus and Steve Letarte were both fined $100,000 and suspended for six races because their cars failed an initial inspection at Infineon Raceway.
