NASCAR adds Jeff Gordon as 13th car in Chase - ESPN
After a series of controversies last week regarding an intentional spin-out by one member of a racing team in order to get his teammate into the 2013 NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup, NASCAR decided to penalize Michael Waltrip Racing's drivers and throw one of them out of the chase, and then, after that, they added in Jeff Gordon (#24 DuPont Chevrolet) into the chase as the 13th driver in what was supposed to be a 12-driver playoff.
