"[Gordon's] actions were brought to our attention early last evening," said NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp. "We met this morning and reviewed the situation, and have reacted accordingly. We will continue to look at this situation involving Robby Gordon."
Both Conway and Gordon have pending legal procedures against each other following fall-out during 2010. Gordon claims Conway's sponsor did not fulfill financial commitments with his team, while Conway is chasing prize money for winning last year's rookie of the year award.
