I went home for lunch and turned to the Cup practice on Speed. I turned it on just a little too late, but they were talk about Jeff Gordon being held on pitrow for like a half hour I think. The announcers said he was sitting there fuming in his car being held that long in "detention". Never heard of anyone being parked during practice. I didn't see anything on the net so I have no idea what happened. Anyone know?
Eleven Drivers Penalized: Eleven drivers were penalized for being late for inspection at Darlignton Raceway last week. Ten teams/drivers will be held for 15 minutes before they can practice today at Richmond: #5-Busch, #7-Gordon, #8-Earnhardt Jr., #10-Riggs, #15-Waltrip, #17-Kenseth, # 41-Mears, #42-McMurray, #48-Johnson and #99-Edwards. #24-Gordon has to sit on pit road for 30 minutes. The drivers and cars need to sit on pit road, can't go out to practice or work on the car.(Speed Channel's Happy Hour practice coverage).(5-13-2005)
Gordon said" NASCAR should have taken the rainy weather into account" He later added" When you've got 11 or 12 top teams that are late for inspection line there's obviously a problem there beyond just the teams lagging behind." Gordon added that missing track time at Richmond was badly needed. He Q'ed 20th his worst starting spot there in 7 races. ( Just the news as it's written in the AJC, before all the Gordon bashers come out of the woodwork.)
