Watching FOX and they said a driver named Aaron Fike admitted to using heroin the day he finished a career-high 5th at a certain race. He was arrested a week later. Apparently the majority of drivers are in favor of stricter testing. [No link. Just saw it on TV. Guess there's no COPS on tonight. ]
I heard that the other day. Pretty impressive driving skills imo. I usually cant drive after a couple beers and this guy can keep going on heroin.
yeah, this was quite the alarming story. I don't think he was saying he was high while he was racing, just that he had used it earlier that day. It wasnt an instance where he shot up, then jumped in the car, at least it doesnt sound that way anyways. I sure as heck hope that wasnt the case anyways. but here's a link to the story in ESPN the magazine, where Fike admitted to his use. its a pretty good read about fike himself, and how nascar dropped the ball on their testing procedures... http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3336474
