With the Tony Stewart / Kevin Ward Jr. Incident involving the use of illegal drugs by one of the involved participants, is there anyone else out there that would like to see drug testing at local tracks? JMO , but I don't feel that there is a place for any type of mind altering chemicals to be used in this type of sport. There is too much money at stake with the rising cost of equipment.... And also the lives that could be in danger including racers, officials,pit crew, etc.... There are many easy to use tests out there today that give immediate results, including some at Walgreens for $29. In the past there has been talk of drug testing, but there was always the cost factor to do the test. This would appear to be a fairly inexpensive way to start, All for the price of a pit pass. I think a simple formula could be used. Take all of the numbers that were drawn by the drivers at pill draw, and re-draw one of those numbers at the drivers meeting. That way it would be totally random. Some people may not like this, but I would like to see it .
