2009 NASCAR running thread

No! It's really a promotion to Hendrick's R&D unit! It's a good thing for Tony Jr., I'm telling you!

Here comes the third, or if you want to go back to Ralph fourth, generation.

Jeffrey Earnhardt, Kerry's son, will race a limited Nationwide schedule, beginning this weekend at Dover.

Or not.

Of course, that team has always sucked — even (perhaps especially) when Stanton Barrett owned it.

 

Jeremy Mayfield tested positive for amphetamines.

He has a prescription for Adderall, an ADHD treatment, and he was taking Claritin-D, which has pseudephedrine as its decongestant. Hell's bells ... it'd be a shock if that combination didn't put him over whatever limit was set.

NASCAR now alleges that Mayfield also tested positive for "a dangerous, illegal, banned substance" which it has yet to identify (and, notably, which it didn't bother mentioning before Friday's hearing.

To NASCAR, I have no choice but to say this: Shit or get off the goddamned pot, assholes. Identify the "dangerous, illegal, banned substance" or let Jeremy back on the track.

 

People use things like Adderall and Claritin-D to make "dangerous, illegal, banned substances." Could it not be that having the two in your system could make it appear as though you are doing something else?

 

Yeah, but if he can produce the prescription for Adderall that puts NASCAR in at least an uncomfortable spot.

This is at the point where NASCAR either acts in a completely transparent manner¹ or comes clean and drops the matter entirely.¹Admittedly, that would go 180 degrees against NASCAR's nature, but it would be the best maneuver available.

 

C'mon 2MCMn that was on ESPN.com ... yesterday. Uhhn Friday. Oh to hell with it. Bookmark it, eh?

 

To be honest, I was waiting for somebody else to post it.

 

Now that I understand. I don't want to come off as a shill or anything.

 

I'm actually somewhat surprised nobody got it earlier ... it probably got lost in the Eury Jr. prop wash.
