Allways that is such a good break for RG. I guess because the motor change happened prior to Quals they are showing him some grace. <- That is a NASCAR first!

bummer, robby is having engine issues once again. he was running well, worked his way half way through the field then the problems began.

well robby's day just ended with about 20 to go. that POS menards motor finally ventilated and oiled down part of the track. i wish he'd gotten with a better engine program. that's going to be a downfall to him as long as he's using them.

MEXICO CITY -- NASCAR officials said they would look into an alleged confrontation between Robby Gordon and Brad Parrott, crew chief for Carl Edwards, before Sunday's Telcel Motorola 200 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

According to witnesses, Parrott approached Gordon before driver introductions and said something to Gordon. As Gordon turned away, Parrott allegedly thrust his knee into Gordon's groin.

Gordon then grabbed Parrott by the neck, but before Gordon could throw a punch, onlookers stepped in. Eventually, the melee was separated, with no apparent injuries.
