I totally agree Bill, I wasn't being negative about RG's qualifying, it's about what we expected. Robby has a kickass drafting car and I bet he wanted to start in the back as it falls into his strategy for plate races.

On Fox Racetrax "Qualifying inspection is over and two cars - Robby Gordon's No. 7 and Reed Sorenson's No. 43 - did not meet height requirements. They will start from the rear after their times were disallowed and further penalties could be announced later this week."
Not good to loose any points.

Not what they need. How does that happen? A mistake? One would think that someone (quality control) would make sure the car would pass inspection each and every time. Too bad, but have to keep moving forward. Hopefully they will finish well enough to make up for any penalties. Hang in there, Robby!!

Yes, it does seem to have just as much drama and speculation. Last week it was if and when he would pay Mikey back. This week what penalties is NASCAR going to do to throw at him. Stay tuned....
