The Best News I've Heard All Week

Robby Gordon, a-hole extraordinaire, is suspended from today's Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono.

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) -Robby Gordon was suspended by NASCAR for the Nextel Cup race at Pocono on Sunday because of his misconduct on the race track at the Busch Series race in Canada.

Gordon refused to forfeit his position on the track when ordered to by NASCAR late in Saturday's race. Officials said Gordon intentionally knocked Marcos Ambrose out of the race, and then refused to pull off the track as ordered.

Wait. It gets better.

Gordon also celebrated as if he had won the event, doing victory burnouts and pumping his fist at the crowd at the same time as winner Kevin Harvick.

Gordon did cross the finish line first, though the results showed he finished 18th based on the amount of laps he completed when he was disqualified. Gordon also refused to acknowledge the black flag that NASCAR waved at him every time he crossed the line over the final few laps.

"I did the most laps, I was the first car to complete them, I won the race," Gordon said. "We came here to win the race, and that's what we did." (H/T - Yahoo!)

Robby Gordon - no relation to Jeff Gordon - has been an obnoxious a-hole since he first came to NASCAR. However, unlike Tony Stewart or Kevin Harvick, Gordon is an obnoxious a-hole without any talent. This stunt is par for the course for him. Wreck a guy, ignore the officials, and brag about how you won the race, anyway.

Hopefully, NASCAR will throw him out on his ass.
