Yeh because he's still drunk from Weds night. I don't think so!

At least he's accepting responsibility like a man.

I read an article that Richard Petty has to make the decision whether or not he's going to put AJ in the 43 car next year. He really likes the guy but he's very adament about how his drivers conduct themselves. Hope it all works out and this isn't the end of Aj's career.

Seems like they have decided. RPM fined him 10k that will be donated to charity and they have put him on probation through the end of the 2010 season. Seems like he'll be in the car if they've put him on probation through the end of 2010.

Very happy for AJ and Petty. I think it was a good decision and I wish AJ well in 2010.

I wouldn't brag. People get killed from drunk drivers you might be next on the Texas chain gang.
