NASCAR is taking Truex's No. 1 Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing Chevrolet back to their Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C., after discovering the right rear of the car was high in postrace inspection.

Truex was selected for random inspection at the conclusion of the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Truex finished 16th in Saturday night's race.

Any penalties would be announced following further inspection, likely on Tuesday or Wednesday.
