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 Sunday 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.
