#7-Robby Gordon says he will appeal NASCAR penalties levied against his Robby Gordon Motorsports team May 27. Gordon was penalized 50 owner and 50 driver points while crew chief Kirk Almquist was fined $50,000 and placed on probation until Dec. 31. Officials said the rear axle housing of the #7 Toyota, which was taken following a third-place finish by Gordon in the May 25 Coca-Cola 600, exceeded the maximum specified toe of plus or minus one degree.”The bottom line is we were no more “body yawed than anybody else,” Gordon said May 30,”even though our rear end had more toe. We … pulled our right-side trailing arm forward and our left-side trailing arm backwards. We fit the template on the right side before the race. So we arent doing anything funny there; there was no advantage.”(SceneDaily)(5-31-2009)
