During the week before the Coke Zero 400 which was won by Tony Stewart in a late last lap pass, A.J. Allmendinger was subject to a random drug test performed by NASCAR and was temporarily suspended due to a positive drug test of an unknown substance that has not been revealed. Do you think this is a statement that should have been made public before any decisions were made by the NASCAR Executive Staff before they suspended him temporarily? Due to the nature, after giving A.J. Allmendinger the appropriate amount of time to request a sample "B" test which is 72 hours after the first test was taken, do NASCAR fans think this was the correct procedure taken or was this just a "On The Fly" procedure as NASCAR is well known for even after using the rules printed in the NASCAR rulebook?

No I don't that is the reason rules are in place. This has been a ongoing problem with nascar. They should spoke with his him and his owner, suspended him and them made the statement.

That you are right about. Not only did they take the wrong approach, but they left a great amount of people wondering what is going on. Guess NASCAR loves leaving its wonderful fans in suspense!! Which is what creates drama in every sport whether its NASCAR ,football or any other sport.
