    NASCAR is looking into accusations that Paul Menard deliberately brought out a caution in last weekend's Sprint Cup race at Richmond International Raceway to impact the outcome.

    The investigation is in response to four-time Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon saying there was something "fishy" about the spinout that opened the door for Menard's teammate, Kevin Harvick, to win.

    "In light of the suspicions, we're going to look into it and see if there is anything," NASCAR president Mike Helton said Friday at Chicagoland Speedway. "And a lot of it is going to be interpretation. Certainly, it is on us to understand exactly what all we can find as far as facts are concerned."
