RICHMOND, Va. -- The No. 78 Toyota driven by Martin Truex Jr. failed post-race inspection Saturday night following a third-place finish in the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway.
Truex Jr. led the most laps on the evening, 193 of 407, before his No. 78 Toyota failed its pass through the Laser Inspection Station (LIS) platform after the race.
The car will be taken back to NASCAR's Research & Development Center in Concord, North Carolina, and will be further evaluated. Any penalties and fines will be assessed this week and are typically announced on Wednesdays.
Last week, Ryan Newman and Kyle Larson both failed post-race inspection in the same manner. Both were later docked 15 points and their crew chiefs were fined.
Any potential midweek points penalty would count toward Truex's regular-season points total, not his adjusted Chase total, according to a NASCAR official at Richmond.
