awesome , keep up the good work WOO
The best rule ever made in racing...
The Lucas Oil Series needs to start doing this as well.
The major sports leagues do it to catch people using performance enhancing drugs. I'm guessing WoO is doing it for insurance reasons, or to reach the "next level".
I agree with it on one hand and on the other there hasn't been any obvious circumstances in late models where people caused wrecks and acted wreckless because of drugs. To each his own, I just think it's a unneeded rule in our racing.
Which ones they random test?
They should test their own crew. As slow as they were at both Screven and Volusia...yea test em lol Especially need to test whoever it was to come with those tire rules
My thoughts exactly, if they can't handle tire testing why would you put your rep in their hands for drugs. We saw in the Eldora incident they won't back down even when they are wrong. The funny part is someone thinking this is gonna keep them from racing against those under the influence because of a "Pre-race" test. You could burn a fatty, snort a line of coke and do 2 shots prior to the test, but you'll still race because the results won't be back for at least a week. I think the sole motivation for so many to support this is because they hate one man. They sincerely believe they can stop a certain man from TN from winning if they can catch him dirty. The sanctions have even gotten so caught up in the anti-bloomer movement they wrote new provisional rules at GIS because he showed up late and used a provisional, which he earned. Later he was so sick from his injury he had to be hospitalized. They should all be ashamed for being so hateful and getting caught up in social media gossip.
What about medical marijuana? Are they not seeing that slowing but surely the states are starting to recognize it as a very good why to treat multiple ailments... Totally unwarranted and unneeded rule. I understand you don't want someone meth'd out out there but (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word). smh
Probably the most ignorant post ever, but considering the source:rolleyes:Lucas doesn't want to lose Scott. He is their money card. Their star attraction. Love him or hate him, he is their superstar and they want him on the tour.
Scott was late on Friday, they enacted the provisional rule on Sat. He cut his hand on Sun. and went to hospital on Monday. So sick he had to be hospitalized? He was given a I.V. for a infection. Yeah, shame on Lucas Oil.
Those that think this is a good rule must believe there are drivers racing under the influence....
Who are those drivers?
I agree with drug testing as long as the drivers gets to have a indepandent drug test done at the same time. Meaning WRG does their test and then a represenative from WRG rides with the driver to a indepandent lab and gets a test done right then and there.
Great move by WOO and WRG. Drugs of any kind should not be mixed with any professional sports. I am sure this was done because competitors don't want it and knows it's is going on. The big question I have who was the driver that refused to take the test? Because that shows guiltiness.
With all the nay sayers spouting out about drug tests. How many of you partied with any driver during the wee hours of the night? One in the same, alcohol and drugs!!!!!!
Sometimes some of the simplest things can bring back a positive test. Like something in a food item
Once you get a DirtCar/WoO license you are basically an employee of that organization. You agree to the terms and conditions of that organization. Don't like the fact you are subjected to random testing? Don't race with that organization. It's not that hard.
You think nobody is doing stuff..... I give you Tim Kaeding.
Its all not about Scott or probably not about him at all, it is more in regards to the instance between Tony Stewart and Kevin Ward Jr. and those pending lawsuits. Here is a quote from the article below "Stewart already has been exonerated once. A grand jury heard testimony in September and needed less than an hour of deliberation to determine not to charge Stewart in the death of Ward, who had enough marijuana in his system to influence his actions, according to the district attorney."
This is why you need drug testing, tracks, series and drivers cannot afford to have these type of lawsuits against them.

All the racers that race for any sanctioning body or race track are there working for prize monies. They receive a 1099 at the end of the year for there services. So maybe you should check your facts. With that being said WRG, Lucas or any sanctioning group or track has the right to drug test. If a racer feels like he doesn't want to be checked then he needs to choose where he races. The sanctioning bodies govern the sport and they should be checking these drivers for their own safety as well as the other competitors. There is no defense otherwise if something happens. But you have that right not to participate. But you will see Lucas and others following suit because they can't afford the liability. Great move by WRG.
Not trying to start anything, but everybody is accusing others of doing drugs or not running WoO because they will fail a drug test. Has anybody stopped to consider the odd circumstances that Josh Richards abruptly bails to Lucas Oil Series the same season drug testing starts. Why is it that he never gets criticized . Doesn't anyone else think that is kinda strange.
