NASCAR: No fine for R. Gordon, Parrott

LAS VEGAS -- Neither Robby Gordon nor Brad Parrott will be fined for their pre-race confrontation last week in Mexico City.

Parrott, crew chief for Carl Edwards, and Gordon argued before the green flag, apparently over why Edwards was allowed to retain his starting spot after a crash and an engine change in practice. Gordon had to start at the rear of the field after changing an engine.

Witnesses said that Parrott and Gordon started to argue, and Parrott kneed him in the groin. Gordon tried to grab Parrott's throat, but Edwards quickly intervened to help break up the incident.

The brief fracas won't merit any punishment, but NASCAR did hand out two fines for rules infractions stemming from Mexico.

Elton Sawyer, crew chief for Paul Wolfe, was docked $2,500 for an unapproved ratio. Danny Gill, crew chief for Eric Jones, was fined $500 for an unapproved intake manifold.

Jones made the race by taking the last spot available on owners points, while Wolfe failed to qualify.
