Coming off an impressive run at Richmond where he slid his way into NASCAR's Chase For The Sprint Cup, Jeff Gordon looked to follow it up with a good day at Chicagoland Speedway in the Geico 400. Gordon was running well in his DuPont Chevrolet until a stuck throttle forced him into the wall, effectively knocking him out of the race and severely hurting his chance at the 2012 Cup

Race 27 - Geico 400 Penalties

Going into the rain delayed Geico 400, Jeff Gordon was among the favorites of many folks. Unfortunately for Gordon and his Dupont team, he was never competitive and ended up running out of fuel on the last lap. Because he sped in the pits to try to get refueled, NASCAR penalized him one lap giving Gordon a lackluster 24th place finish on the day.

Penalty Report - Chicago:

Car#, Lap, Reason, Penalty
#7 Robby Gordon, Pre-Race to the rear, Engine
#30 David Stremme, Pre-Race to the rear, Missed Driver Intros
#4 Kasey Kahne, 72, Speed-Exiting pits, Tail of Field
