NASCAR Driver AJ Allmendinger suspended for positive drug test
 

NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger has been temporarily suspended from NASCAR competition following a positive drug test. The random drug test was administered last weekend and both AJ and his team owner, Roger Penske, were notified of the positive test today.

Sam Hornish Jr. is currently on a plane heading to Daytona to take Allmendinger's place in tonight's race. AJ has 72 hours to ask for his "B" sample to be tested. If that comes back positive, he will be indefinitely suspended.

This is the first time since 2009 that a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver was suspended for a positive test. Jeremy Mayfield had tested positive for methamphetamine's and is still suspended by NASCAR.

If you have any questions about this test, the NASCAR drug policy or the drivers involved, I would be happy to answer.

It is NASCAR policy not to identify the exact substance the driver tested positive for. We will know more when AJ releases a statement, which we all expect him to do.

The news came out at a little after 6 p.m. eastern. AJ and Roger Penske were notified and AJ was escorted from the garage area.

Not going to argue because we disagree on some of the drivers we like. All I will say is among the cars I like are 24 83 93. Been a Jeff Gordon fan for years and love the young BK Racing teams of Cassill and Kvapil
