    Haven't heard a single WoO driver come out in favor. Now if you want to test due to an incident like using your car as a weapon in the pits, fine. Random is never random though, when I worked in maintenance at a nursing home they had a random policy too, but what they'd do is figure out who they wanted to test and pick 2 others so it wasn't obvious they were singling people out. My wife was the director of nursing and this is what they made her do, so random is baloney. I don't use drugs, never have, but I'm no more in favor of this than I was FC seats, because the people up top don't have a clue on whats necessary or prudent and I don't trust them to be ethical or just, only politically motivated.

      Shirley and Moyer JR both said in DoD interviews yesterday that they liked it.

          Casebolt as well, even though longer dedicated to tour. So, yeah, quite a few. There are more, but you can do your own research 

            And if there were glaring cases where weed and other drugs, including alcohol, caused terrible crashes, and wrecks, sure. There isn't. It's just a business move, make us "look good" move. Not a safety move. I am talking racing, not real life. In real life, the drunk driving, and driving while high is a huge issue.

            And before someone says we have a perfect example in Kevin Ward, bs. Weed had jack sh!t to do with why he did that. He was pi$$ed because of what Tony did, wanted some recognition, and just let his anger and immaturity cause a deadly mistake. And just so happens he left a glaringly easy way to excuse Tony from any wrong doing and make himself look dumber.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                    I don't understand everyone's ire against this. Not one driver has come out against it. THEY are the only ones who it affects. They aren't asking 4m members to pee in a cup. Drivers on tour are doing this for a living and they aren't bitching about it, they are saying thank you, it's about time.

                      What they do away from the track is their business.

                        The only people that don't like it are the druggies, imagine that.

                          This rule, must be the equivalent to Lucas oil Left rear suspension rule for JD. Only this time it's Bloomers turn in the barrel. I guess the days of smoking crack and drinking Jack are over.

                            If you haven't heard a WOO driver come out in favor then you must not hear much. Billy Moyer Jr. & Brian Shirley both came out in favor of it and Moyer Jr. said so in a Dirt On Dirt Interview at the PRI Show.

                              Says the Conservative a$$holes who drink alcohol until they're slobbering and obnoxious, but that's OK, because it's legal...... In every walk of life you'll see more drunk people than you'll see high people, no matter what they're on. In the pits, in the seat, in the grandstands, behind the wheel of racecars and haulers and behind the wheel of passenger cars on the way home.
