NASCAR is expected to announce next week at California what exactly they found in the fuel system of Michael Waltrip's Toyota Camry after Daytona 500 qualifying last Sunday.

Waltrip's car was found to have an unidentified, gel-like performance additive, which NASCAR inspectors have sent out for laboratory analysis. Results of the lab tests aren't complete yet, said a source familiar with the investigation. Those results will be disclosed next week, most likely during the race weekend at California Speedway in Fontana.

So far, all NASCAR has said specifically about the substance is that they
know what it isn't, not what it is. That will change soon. NASCAR officials also confirmed that the examination of Waltrip's confiscated car is continuing.

In 2000, when Jeremy Mayfield's car was found to have tainted fuel at Talladega, it was nearly two weeks after his car failed inspection before test results of his fuel were made public.

Waltrip's team was penalized by NASCAR Tuesday with a loss of 100 owner points, 100 driver points, suspension of two team members, a $100,000 fine for his crew chief and confiscation of his car. He will be allowed to race in Sunday's Daytona 500 in a back-up car.
