'I didn't see it affecting the majority of the team,' said Gordon, who added Larson and crew chief Cliff Daniels allowed the Hendrick executives to handle communications with NASCAR. 'As far as how it trickled down the team, I didn't see where they were really . They seem to be business as usual. I think the best medicine in any of those situations is getting back to the racetrack.
