Ryan Newman's car was found to be too low in the rear on both sides during Sunday's post-race inspection and will head back to the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, North Carolina, for further review.
Newman advanced to the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup thanks to a fifth-place finish in the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Newman, driving the No. 31 Chevrolet in his first season with Richard Childress Racing, was credited with leading 10 laps as he scored his fourth straight top-10 finish in the Chase.
Any potential penalty would likely not be announced until Tuesday. With the points reset for the next round, Newman is ranked third in the standings. Every driver in the Eliminator Round has 4,000 points.
