#13 Penalty:

Robby Gordon replaced race starter PJ Jones in the #13 Burger King/Turtle Wax Ford after flying back form running the Indy 500. After the red flag for rain, Gordon took over the #13, his nornal ride. The team was assessed a five-lap penalty because the crew had worked on the car under the red-flag stop for rain(Infobeat/AP) and Gordon’s team made the mistake of adjusting his seat during the delay, when teams aren’t allowed to work on their cars and the team was penalized five laps(News and Observer)(5-29-2000)
