(AP) - Robby Gordon’s 18th-place finish got his team heading in the right direction in the points, despite facing a 100-point loss if his appeal is denied by the National Stock Car Commission.
Gordon was hit with the points penalty and his crew chief, Frank Kerr, was fined $100,000 and suspended for six races for having an unapproved bumper cover on their new Dodge when it was presented for the opening inspection at Daytona.
That knocked Gordon’s No. 7 Charger from ninth to 40th in the points last week. But Monday’s performance moved him back into the coveted top 35 in car owner points in 32nd.
“We’re going to get our points back,” Gordon said. “I think that’s the most important thing. It brings us to 32nd right now, but that’s still not representative of where our car is running.
“Our car is a top-15 car. With the 100 points, we would probably be sitting here around 12th, so I’m looking at that more than anything.”
