NASCAR drug testing?
Submitted from Freshrubber.com
The recent arrest of Craftsman Truck Series driver Aaron Fike on charges of heroin possession has brought new calls for NASCAR to toughen its drug-testing policies. Driver Kevin Harvick, who Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will try to win the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard for a second time, has been outspoken in favoring mandatory testing. “I believe every driver in every national series should be drug tested a couple times a year randomly, regardless of who you are,” Harvick said recently. “I think we owe it to the sponsors and the fans to 100 percent know that this is a clean environment. Shame on NASCAR for not policing our garage better than what they police it now.” Harvick’s Richard Childress Racing teammate, Jeff Burton, said he doesn’t believe a serious problem exists but “wishes NASCAR tested more” to remove any doubt.
