NASCAR defends drug policy
Posted: Sunday July 15, 2007 10:35AM ET
NASCAR believes strongly that its substance-abuse policy works well and encourages the sport's drivers to take an active role in its application. Several drivers, Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton among them, called on NASCAR this weekend to step up its drug testing in response to Truck series driver Aaron Fike's arrest last weekend on drug charges. "Our policy is based on reasonable suspicion, and in the agreement ... it lays out a lot of things to look for that are out of the ordinary," said Jim Hunter, NASCAR's vice president for corporate communication. "Anytime (drivers) suspect that someone is abusing, they can come up to one of our officials, to me, to (John) Darby, to Mike Helton and we'll investigate. "I think they have a responsibility to let us know."
 
Awwwwwwwwwwww, NASCAR looking for stool pigeons???
I don't think it's right to make one driver "rat" on another.
Harvick and Burton's request doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Harvick's and Burton's remarks made good sense to me.
 
Most drug addicts can hide their problem well. That's when it is scary, not when there falling over and obviously impaired, but when they look alright and really aren't. The rose colored glasses aren't in style anymore.

Fike's father didn't even know about him. I saw an article on that the other day.
