Gordon Robber of Playoff Position

On Saturday at Richmond International Raceway Jeff Gordon was so call "cheated" in a way of clinching play off chances to win the Sprint Cup. Gordon was closing in on play off chances in the last 7 laps until Michael Waltrip Racing's, Clint Bowyer got into a spin out and caused a caution flag for the last 7 laps. After the fact, Bowyer and teammate Brian Vickers made unnecessary pit stops that allowed Joey Logano to pass them on the track. This allowed for Logano to gain one extra point than Gordon and ruined his race for the Sprint Cup. Yes, the more was "technically" fair but Gordon was furious when he found out that the team minipulaed the win for Logano. Gordon is apealing this with the NASCAR league and is saying that his team should still be in this. Gordon stated that if he knew this would've happened he could've been more agressive on the second restart and shoved other cars out of the way or even wrecked them but he deemed it not necessicary under his veiws of sportsmanship.
