Busch Series driver Kevin Grubb has been indefinitely suspended by NASCAR for violation of its substance abuse policy, officials confirmed Tuesday.
An official announcement of Grubb's suspension is coming Tuesday afternoon.

Grubb becomes the second Busch driver in six months to be suspended for violation of the policy. Driver Shane Hmiel was suspended Sept. 18, 2003.

Hmiel was reinstated last month following a his participation in a program of counseling and random drug testing.

Grubb, 25, was running a partial schedule this season with Team Rensi, which fields the No. 25 Fords for Bobby Hamilton Jr. He had not yet entered a race this season.

Last year, Grubb made 25 starts and finished 19th in series points with two top-10 finishes. His most recent race was Nov. 8, 2003, at Rockingham, N.C.

Man this really makes me mad, these kids obviously don't know how good they've got it and to just screw it up like that. :angry:
 
This upsets me that drugs are starting to enter Nascar. Nascar use to be the clean sport god I hope that Hmiel and Grubb are the only two and they can clean this up. Hopefully Grubb can clean himself up he's a talent.
 
Unfortunately, I doubt that these two are the only ones who have violated the substance abuse policy.

I hope Kevin seeks the help he needs.

Grubb, 25, apparently tested positive for substance abuse when such a test was demanded by NASCAR officials at Rockingham two weeks ago. Oddly enough, Grubb wasn’t entered in that race and, in fact, wasn’t even planning on competing in a race until April 3. He was merely present at the track when officials demanded that he submit a urine sample. According to several garage-area sources, six drivers were tested at Rockingham, and Grubb may not have been the only one to test positive. NASCAR’s policy does not require uniform or even random testing. Drivers are tested on the basis of “reasonable suspicion.

If he wasn't racing how could they demand a urine sample? Seems like he was set up to me. I'm not condoning drug use but this appears to be a little overboard. For those of you with pit passes, watch out...
 
When you apply for a NASCAR license, you agree to submit to drug testing.
I understand that Grubb was in the garage area during the running of a NASCAR event when he was asked to submit to a urine test. Obviously he must have done something to draw that type of attention to himself.

Merely a part of the game. If you want to play, you play by the rules and NASCAR makes the rules.

Pretty doggone stupid of the kid if you ask me.
It simply shows that he is not mature enough to be involved in the big time yet.

By the way, there have been quite a few other drug incidents involving drivers and crew members over the years. They just weren't made into media events back then.

Ask Gary Balough about NASCAR's drug policy.

totally agree, the rules do not stipulate a person will be tested only on the days that they are driving. They have a choice, drugs or racing. I know what my choice would be if I had the talent.
