That’s the whole point of why I found it humorous, Kurt was a huge idiot that day.
Best pit reporter ever IMO. I always learned something when he spoke. Not sure I get that these days
That’s a fascinating read
Ended up losing his ride, not much worse than that
No, this is not about the Cup drivers at all. This is about an Xfinity driver who made a major screw up and got caught.
He won't be in the playoffs.
Do you know what the road to recovery is?
I know but I feel he should be if he returns in time. He did win a race.
Pretty much NASCAR probation.
I think he is insinuating that by finishing first he got banged with a DT. If there were Cup guys in the race he wouldn't of finished first. I get what he was saying, but don't agree with it.
The second positive is the most amazing result to me. Pretty sure they used one of those loaded cocooned cradled drivers seats to work like a narcotics patch, to frame so many innocent young men.
Possible but highly unlikely.
Top 1 and 2 back in February wasn't Cup guys. In fact the first cup guy was 12th. Xfinity guys win the plate races a lot it seems.
Okay. Something is fishy about this. If the kid smoked a little pot and it was on his off-time from the track, NASCAR needs to STFU and let it go. If it was meth or heroin, then maybe they have a leg to stand on. Pot has a very short term effect on the nervous system, and shouldn't be a banned substance unless it can be shown that the driver used it right before getting in the car.
No one knows because NASCAR is shady and won't release the results. Bunch of hypocrites in the executive suite. They're all a bunch of drunks.
Good for you. Are you in a business that involves safety? If not, you're wasting your money.
not the case at all. Disclosing someones drug test publicly in many states is illegal
employers insurance demands a drug test in the case of an injury.
Hey. Hey. Hey. Don't bust on Kurt. He is NASCAR royalty. His little brother is an idiot though.
Meth cocaine and herion leaves your system faster then the THC in pot. Alcohol is processed an ounce an hour in your liver. You can be legally drunk the next day from a bender and fail a blood test.
Not if the participant agrees to release his PHI.
that wasn't the question, statement whatever: No one knows because NASCAR is shady and won't release the results. Bunch of hypocrites in the executive suite. They're all a bunch of drunks.
Yep. I agree. If you are injured on the job, or cause damage to a company vehicle or property, you should be tested. But not a single insurance company requires pre-employment screening unless the position is safety sensitive by definition. Most companies only use the pre-employment screening to eliminate people from the employment pool, even it they are qualified for the job. It's an excuse to discriminate against people.
You never know how far a major corporation will go to cover up their first error. Mayfield obviously pissed off someone high up in the organization to deserve this kind of scrutiny and conspiracy. Oh, never mind. I haven't slept in 86 hours, and I'm getting a little tin-foiled here.
Yes, but the actual effects of THC wear off in a very short period of time. Just because it is traceable in your system doesn't mean it is affecting you. That's why there is no reliable test for marijuana DWI in state where it is legal. They can't separate the people that are actually high from those that smoked it 8 hours earlier.
Then that's up to Gallagher, but I haven't seen you criticize him for not releasing it.
NASCAR has every leg to stand on. It's their series so they make the rules. If they want those rules to be stricter than the law, that's up to them too. If Gallagher doesn't want to comply with those rules, he was always free to find a series with less restrictive ones. (It's kinda like forums that have rules regarding posted content.)
You're making NASCAR's case with this post. The point isn't if a driver is affected mentally at the time he's tested. Since NASCAR can't tell when the driver took the substance, they can't tell if he was affected during a race and was possibly a danger to others. They also can't tell when he'll take it again in the future, also possibly at a time when he'd endanger others.
Safety has nothing to do with whether an accountant is getting the books wrong or a salesman is mismanaging customer accounts or a network administrator is deleting the wrong things. It does have something to do with whether someone can't navigate the parking lot or walk up the stairs or walk past operating machinery, although I don't think that's how you meant 'safety'.
