Team Penske's No. 2 Ford driven by Brad Keselowski to a third-place finish Sunday failed post-race inspection at Michigan International Speedway.
Keselowski's entry failed during its trip through the Laser Inspection System (LIS) platform after the Pure Michigan 400. Any potential penalties for the No. 2 would be announced this week.
"That's a standard penalty that we'll issue," NASCAR Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Development Officer Steve O'Donnell told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio's "The Morning Drive" on Monday. "The teams worked with us and asked for that as well, that if you do fail, there will be a standard penalty issued."
Previous LIS violations have produced P3-grade penalties and a 15-point deduction in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings.
The rest of the cars inspected post-race were cleared by NASCAR officials. NASCAR's competition department said it planned to take the following cars back to its Research & Development Center in Concord, North Carolina, for further inspection:
-- The Chip Ganassi Racing No. 42 Chevrolet of race winner Kyle Larson
-- The Hendrick Motorsports No. 24 Chevrolet of race runner-up Chase Elliott
-- The Joe Gibbs Racing No. 19 Toyota of seventh-place finisher Carl Edwards
