Yes but the pic they put with the article is hilarious.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Jeff Gordon's Duels-winning racecar failed post-race inspection on Thursday, dropping the former Daytona 500 winner to a 42nd-place starting spot.

Gordon's car was deemed "close to an inch" too low, according to NASCAR officials, due to the fact that a bolt on the shock fastener was misaligned.

NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said he feels the action was unintentional.

No fines or point deductions will be assessed, according to Pemberton.

"We're sure this wasn't intentional," Pemberton said.

Despite the infraction, Gordon still goes into the record books as the winner.

Great, just great! At least I was happy for a while when I heard he won on the radio.

Bummer about the 24 car.

Oh! The bolt was missaligned? Last night I heard that the shock mount was broken. How is it that the crew did not measure the height of the fenders? Maybe someone in Waltrips crew accidently spilt Sterno down the carb while warming up lunch. Or maybe the other crews accidently failed to cover up the holes, allowing trapped air to go through, thus reducing drag. I mean if its possible to missalign a shock bolt on purpose, shouldn't they be fined also?
