So it seems that the latest smack in the garage is that some of our drivers may be doing some drug taking. Now I know that this is a big shocker because honestly though this is pretty common among football, baseball and other sports, honestly this is not commone in nascar. Sure they dont test the drivers within nascar but the team owners have their own testing to some extent.

Now lets see, doing 180 mph on a track like Daytona or even doing 90 at Bristol is dangerous enough but now it appears we have a driver who does this while on something.

I say nascar better step it up and make it mandatory to have random testing done at the track prior to the race. They have driver meetings, prayer sessions and other media events...they can simply add one more in either the day before the race or that morning. Since I dont do drugs i have no idea how long it takes for those tests to be run or how long those drugs stay in the body but come on NASCAR you are so good at taking care of our boys with the best cars, safety devices, soft walls etc now its time to start testing.

As for the kid who is guilty, I say pray for him and thank GOD that he didnt wreck himself or anyone else in that race because of the drug use. I am all about forgiveness and helping others and this kid deserves a second chance and maybe he wont ever drive again but at least he will get some help.

Prayers out to him and his family.

I am watching this race at Phoenix International Raceway...and this track isn't my fav. This race is still good though. Tires seem to have some issues. Mr. Sadler just cut a tire...Matt is having a bad night. Junior finally gets to lead.

Hmm. TV verses being at the track...actually both are good. But at the track you can smell the fuel...hear the roar of the engines and the rush is something that is unexplainable.

I have been to several tracks, Daytona, Darlington, Homestead, Atlanta, Dega, Bristol, Lowes and I will say that for me, so far being at a track beats watching it on tv by far..even when you freeze your butts off...and trust me in Darlington we did.

Either way...98 degrees in July or 45 in October....bring it on baby. I'm there.
