Jeff Gordon's car damaged after garage accident with Clint Bowyer at New Hampshire

LOUDON, N.H. — Jeff Gordon missed half of the morning practice after the right rear quarter panel of his No. 24 Chevrolet was crushed in during a garage accident with Clint Bowyer on Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Gordon's car was struck by Bowyer as he backed out of his stall, apparently because Gordon's crewman did not notice Bowyer's on-coming No. 15 Toyota.
