Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
CONCORD, N.C. - The No. 19 Dodge of Nextel Cup Series driver Jeremy Mayfield failed post-race inspection following Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway, series director John Darby confirmed Tuesday.
The car's roof height failed to meet the minimum 51-inch requirement, Darby said.
NASCAR officials did not report the incident to media members at the track, which has been the practice. The incident was first brought up during Tuesday's "Car of Tomorrow" test by NASCAR's vice president of competition, Robin Pemberton.
The infraction is expected to draw a significant monetary fine and points penalty when the official penalty is released, likely on Wednesday.
Fines ranging from $25,000 to $35,000 and 25-point penalties have been used most recently for the same infraction.
Mayfield, who had one of the stronger cars during most of the race weekend and qualified second, finished 15th.
