Robby Gordon parked Sunday after Busch antics

Robby Gordon's antics at Saturday's Busch race in Montreal will have him parked for Sunday's Nextel Cup race at Pocono, Pa.

Gene Nead, Gordon's crew chief, has confirmed that Gordon will not be allowed to race in Sunday's Pennsylvania 500. P.J. Jones, who practiced in the car Saturday while Gordon was in Montreal, will run the No. 7 Ford in the race.

A formal announcement from NASCAR is forthcoming at some point this morning.

Gordon refused to forfeit his position on the track when ordered to by NASCAR late in Saturday's race, officials said he intentionally knocked Marcos Ambrose out of the race, and then refused to pull off the track as ordered.

Kevin Harvick won Saturday's race, but Gordon celebrated as if he had won the event.

The finish capped a wild final few laps that heated up when Gordon began charging through the field to the front, where Ambrose seemed to be heading to his first NASCAR victory. Gordon was second on a restart with four laps to go, and a multi-car accident brought out a caution.

Gordon passed Ambrose at the same time as the accident to take the lead, but Ambrose spun him to reclaim it seconds later. Gordon was idling sideways as the field roared by him on the historic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, but he raced back to the front under yellow and gave Ambrose a retaliatory bump.

He then tried to move into the lead because he thought he was in first -- or at worst, second -- when the caution came out.

NASCAR instead ruled he was 13th, based on where Gordon was when he righted his car following the spin from Ambrose. He vehemently refused to move back into the field, and NASCAR warned him they would not score him if he didn't forfeit his position.

When the race resumed with three laps to go, Gordon was still holding second place but immediately spun Ambrose to take the lead. NASCAR then ordered him off the track.

He refused that order, too, and led the field around the course for the final three laps.

But NASCAR refused to acknowledge him, and waved the black flag at him every time he crossed the line. The results show he finished 18th -- based on the amount of laps he completed before he was disqualified -- but Gordon celebrated as if he won the race by doing victory burnouts at the same time Harvick did.

"I did the most laps, I was the first car to complete them, I won the race," Gordon said. "We came here to win the race, and that's what we did."

NASCAR officials furiously retreated into their office, where Gordon was summoned after he climbed from his car. He had a copy of the rule book in his hands when he left moments later.

"You always go back to your position if you get spun out, and [Ambrose] spun me under the caution," Gordon said. "They told me originally to go back to second place, and I went back to second place. Then halfway around the last [caution] lap, they said to go back to 13th place or 14th place, something like that.

"I was never running 13th or 14th, so I don't know what to say."
