SONOMA, Calif. -- Faulty transmission linkages Sunday cost Jeff Gordon a shot at his fifth victory at Infineon Raceway, and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson the Nextel Cup Series' point lead.
Flat tires led to Brian Vickers' 34th-place finish, while Kyle Busch also had a linkage issue that relegated him to 40th.
Gordon and Johnson's cars had transmissions from Mid Valley Engineering for the Dodge/Save Mart 350, while the cars for Busch and Vickers had different units, Gordon's crew chief Robbie Loomis said.
