Gordon fined for Kenseth shove.

Jeff Gordon has been fined ten thousand dollars for shoving Matt Kenseth at the conclusion of last weekend's Food City 500 at the Bristol Motor Speedway but has not lost any driver or owner points.

In a most uncharacteristic outburst, Gordon knocked Kenseth backwards on pit road when Kenseth approached the Hendrick driver following several late race nudges between the two drivers that resulted in Gordon spinning on the final lap and dropping out of the top five to 21st.

Gordon has also been placed on probation until the end of August for 'actions detrimental to stock car racing' although can consider himself lucky not to be penalised any points, a punishment usually dished out to anyone cited under the same rule as the four-times Nextel Cup Champion.
