TALLADEGA, Ala. - The No. 41 Dodge of Reed Sorenson, who finished 10th, was found too low in front-end height during post-race inspection on Sunday.
The No. 41 was a random selection for inspection.
NASCAR officials decided to take the car back to teh company's research and development center in Concord, N.C., for further evaluation.
Any penalties would be announced later this week.
