The past week hasn\u2019t been a good one for Jeff Gordon<\/a> and Hendrick Motorsports<\/a>. Days after NASCAR<\/a> handed down severe penalties, including fines totaling $400,000, to the four HMS teams, William Byron and Kyle Larson got caught in other drivers\u2019 wrecks at Atlanta and did not finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HMS is appealing the penalties, and Gordon, the Hall of Fame driver, went on the attack on Sunday. \u201cWe feel like, if our integrity is going to be questioned, we're going to push back,\u201d he said on Fox\u2019s prerace show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pushing back is the team\u2019s right, but Gordon should let Kaulig Racing do some of the heavy lifting first.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJeff Gordon may have a case vs. NASCAR, but Kaulig Racing has a better one<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
