I've been trying to find info and it's like the story has disappeared from Nascar.com and Jayski.
 
Since tomorrow is Independence Day it probably will not come out until the day after. :)
 
Hey, I wonder if they will wait til thursday since tomorrow is the 4th. Something I just thought of all by myself. But seriously, I can't even find the original info on Jayski. It's like they deleted it from the recent news. Well, here's a thought, maybe they will wait til after the 4th to release the penalties. This is brought to you from the "Department of Redundancy Department".
 
NASCAR will take both of the cars back to the R&D Center in Concord, NC to test them further to see if the problem is the result of something that happened on the track or not.

Could be they can't find what happened. Maybe the delay is only marginally related to the holiday.

They probably don't work on Independence Day. Maybe we will hear something the day efter. :)

UPDATE 2: NASCAR has issued penalties and fines to the #5 and #70 teams that compete in the Nextel Cup Series, as a result of rule infractions found this past weekend at New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon, N.H. Both cars – the #5 Chevy driven by Kyle Busch and the #70 Chevy driven by Johnny Sauter – were found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment used do not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8.1B, COT Technical Bulletin #3, dated 4/10/07 (failed to meet the minimum front car heights) of the 2007 NASCAR rule book. The violations were found during post-race inspection last Sunday. As a result, Kyle Busch and Sauter have each been penalized 25 driver championship points. Their respective crew chiefs – Alan Gustafson and Robert “Bootie” Barker – have each been fined $25,000 and placed on probation until Sept. 19. In addition, Rick Hendrick, owner of the #5, has been penalized 25 car owner championship points as has Joe Custer, the owner of the #70.(NASCAR PR)(7-4-2007
 
This is pretty much inline with what I thought it would be as it was not a COT specific infraction.
