Gordon, Johnson OK to practice, race at Sonoma:
Quote:
SONOMA, Calif. -- Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, who were not allowed to participate in any on-track activities on Friday after their cars failed initial inspections, were first on the track for practice Saturday morning at Infineon Raceway.
NASCAR cleared both cars for Sunday's race at the 1.99-mile road course.
Gordon and Johnson were parked on Friday after officials discovered the front right fenders were flared out beyond the wheel well on both cars.
Both teams will face major penalties for the infraction when NASCAR reviews the case early next week.

Johnson and Gordon will be starting 41st and 42nd. This is only the 2nd violation in NASCAR for the Car of Tomorrow. Expect some stiff penalties, and the crew chiefs on each team should be expected to miss at least 6 races, not to mention some big money/points.
This is the biggest incidenet since Mickey's and his jet fuel at Daytona lol
