Test them once a month, but make it a random date so that they have no chance to "prepare" for the test ... <BR/><BR/>Using the Mass Spectrometer testing method will allow NASCAR & the team owners to see exactly what any one person has in their system (whether it be illegal or legal) ... Don't just limit the tests to a urinalysis ...

I'd like to see it modified such that, if a driver is under care and is prescribed certain medications, NASCAR, at its defined statutes, could decide, race-to-race, whether the driver could compete in the event at hand.<BR/>Otherwise, it's clear. Use 'em and screw yourself - one strike amd you're probably out...<BR/>Thanks!tom in daytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00114092644890003246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-90319819449569699722008-05-04T23:55:00.000-04:002008-05-04T23:55:00.000-04:00so, hunter's saying that nascar needs to review th...so, hunter's saying that nascar needs to review the somewhat casual approach they've been taking to substance abuse not b/c having a driver on heroin while racing is a significant safety issue but b/c nascar wants to eliminate the perception that there's a problem? it's quite orwellian, actually: don't admit to a problem, per se. admit to a perception issue.<BR/><BR/>uhhh, nascar? anyone every mention to you guys that perception IS reality? and you have one big old nasty reality that needs to be addressed.<BR/><BR/>sounds like they want to throw the burden of testing on to the teams and thereby remain above the fray. problem is they have drivers saying that there is a serious problem and that nascar needs to do something about it. that, to me, is a significant difference between our sport and the others mentioned: our athletes are ASKING to be tested. <BR/><BR/>i like jim hunter, i really do. i often think he's in a no-win situation. but to use a phrase like "putting together a LITTLE, INSIDE group . . . " (emphasis is mine) tells me a great deal about how predetermined the result is likely to be. especially when one reads that last sentence of "because we don't feel there are (illegal substances in nascar)." sure sounds like someone's already reached a conclusion, doncha think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-80068618538068157152008-05-04T22:36:00.000-04:002008-05-04T22:36:00.000-04:00On a serious note, I think it is Rule 12-4-E.

If not you as the car owner will be found in violation of rule 12-4, (actions detrimental to stock car racing)of the NASCAR rule book. lol. Rule 12-4 seem like it is the whole book, just keep adding to the rule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
