NASCAR announced today that Robby Gordon, driver of the No. 7 car in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, has been placed on probation until Dec. 31 for a rule infraction he committed March 4 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Gordon was penalized for violating Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing; involved in an altercation in the garage area with another competitor) of the 2011 NASCAR rule book.

Robby Gordon has been put on probation until the end of the year by NASCAR after a scuffle in Las Vegas with Kevin Conway that ultimately brought about a police report. Conway drove for Gordon in 7 races last year, and are currently involved in a lawsuit from that relationship. Kevin was not penalized by NASCAR.
