Hendrick teams in hot water

That's Racin'.com is reporting that the Chevrolets of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson are sitting in their garage stalls at Infineon Raceway, awaiting word about possible penalties from NASCAR via an afternoon press conference.

According to David Poole's story, the cars are without their rear wings. Poole also reported that one unverified rumor said the the two Hendrick Motorsports cars could be parked for the rest of the day -- and not allowed to either practice or qualify for the Toyota SaveMart 350.

The issues were apparently discovered during pre-qualifying technical inspection. Word from NASCAR was expected to come down before Friday's scheduled practice session at 3:30 p.m. eastern time. Qualifying is slated for 7:05 p.m. eastern on the 1.99-mile road course.
