Honest Question here:,
Gordon's car fails post-race inspection Jeff Gordon won the second Gatorade Duel but will not start the Daytona 500 from the fourth position after a height violation was found on his No. 24 Chevrolet. Complete story click here
NASCAR forced Gordon to vacate his fourth-place starting position, moving him to 42nd for Sunday's season-opening event. Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president for competition, said bolts had been misaligned on the rear shocks of Gordon's car, and the load placed on the bolts during the race forced the quarterpanels below the minimum allowed height
"forced the quarterpanels below the minimum allowed height"
Are the quarter panels not connected to the roof? How can a quarter panel be low and not the Roof?
I have been wondering about this.

They got rid of the free PitCommand (I knew it was too good when they added it to the TrackPass package last year).

Jeff Gordon's Wife Model & Actress INGRID VANDEBOSCH
Jeff and Ingrid met during the filming of the movie Taxi in which Jeff had a cameo
Jeff and Ingrid were engaged in May 2006 but did not announce their engagement until just prior to the race at Infineon Raceway on 06-24-06. I guess it was good luck since Jeff won the race that day!
Jeff and Ingrid were married on Tuesday 11-07-2006 in Mexico |

I believe the quarter panels are literally hung on the frame with various clips and straps. From what I hear, some sort of shock to fram bolt connection was put in a wrong hole which then put more weight on the right rear panel, thereby pulling that side down lower...starting from the back...just roll easy for a while then move it on up at the first pit.

just roll easy for a while then move it on up at the first pit.And any driver/crewchief will tell ya that starting position in this race means nothing (even if the record winner-starting-from-the-back is P38 I think.)

It depends on whether the car was a bit high to begin with.
Further, it depends on whether it was just the right side (which is what I heard) or both sides. If I remember the Room of Doom correctly, the roof height is measured just behind the windshield, which is forward of the midpoint between the axles. If you push down on one corner, it pushes up the opposite corner, and that raises the centerline of the car up to that midpoint.

It's just blithering idiots trying to explain a mechanical issue, or someone that understands, but is trying to put it into terms that other idiots can understand.
Yes, all body parts are connected, nothing that's articulated, well, after you hit the wall maybe. ;)
