NASCAR stars call for drug testing

NASCAR's stars are serious about fighting drug use in the sport--even if it means regular, random testing.

Man, the drivers can't even catch a buzz before going out to the track. Bogus man!!!!

thats stupid,im opposed to any form of drug testing,and im sure no nascar driver is going to get loaded before he goes out and races,what he does in his personal life,is HIS PERSONAL LIFE.i hate drug testing.

It stops being "his personal life" the second he leaves his house or his hotel or his motorhome whatever and gets in a car and drives. Whether that be a personal car, or a race car, it is inexcusable.

You say you are "sure that no NASCAR driver is going to get loaded before he goes out and races" but media evidence indicates that there HAVE been drivers with drug problems. Aaron Fike, Shane Hmiel, to name a few. And maybe they didn't "get loaded" before a race, and maybe they did. That's not even relevant - drugs are an addiction, and if NASCAR hadn't immediately barred them, had they not found out earlier, there's no telling what would happen.

Actually Aaron Fike admitted that he did heroine last summer before getting into his truck to race. This is one of the main reasons some of the drivers are so upset (and I don't blame them). It's really scary to think a driver is racing at 200 MPH while high. I think it would be great if they did random drug testing.. Nothing wrong with that at all. Maybe a half dozen a week. Companies do it all the time especially with drivers.

Its HIS personal life, but when a driver gets into a race car with 800+horsepower and drives at 190+mph, thats a deadly weapon and had better not be impaired by drugs. If he'd wreck and hurt or kill someone, thats the end of his career.

And what if he is out on the highways, under the influence and is involved in an accident?

If a race car driver wants to go get high - let him retire first!

Besides - if you have nothing to hide, whats the problem?
