I'm thinking some of those random picks aren't so random.

Don't forget this is a World Racing Group rule. All their series and races under their rules.

I want to know what WRG is going to do if guys keep refusing or they fail a test. They have what 10 to 13 guys following the tour dependent on were they are ? Let's just say a few of the name drivers refuse or do not pass a test. What then ? Also what happens if your smoking weed and your in a state that has passed the weed is legal law ? I think WRG is getting involved in something they cannot win.

Heck, I thought everything was legal in Mooresburg!

Yep.....4 or 5 racers that tour with them regularly tell them to gfy and that rule will fade very quickly.

The woo drug testing is insurance candy..........nothing more IMO.

That's been the rumor about his family around his hometown for quite a while

[thexfactor0210]

What is the exact rumor with the family?

Just goes along with tire samples. Won't know the real winner for a couple days after the race pending tire samples and drug tests.

Jason Jameson has been set to be in that car since the spring 50. It would've been rare to see him race anywhere as it is. The car belongs to Justin's dad.

Its a bunch of bs. Its WoOs way of looking like the next NASCRAP.

@ Zyoung, It was a strategic test, very unrandom, a low risk wager for WRG. They get to look like they're doing something without hurting the show.

@ DD45, you nailed it, purely PR for those who think drug testing keeps them safe.

@ B_K, it was very strategic, the safest of all bets. Test a driver who isn't driving...

@ dirtcrazy4U, Don't worry, no one will be tested that might risk the show and if they are tested they will get a heads up so they can clean up. Use to happen at a company I worked for, one vital employee like to smoke weed so she was always allowed to step out and then be tested last.

@ BBQboy, If it were a real rule that might be true, but this is all very orchestrated to not risk anyone they deem valuable to their product.

@ FastFord, I agree and already made a move to wingless sprints after 30 years involvemnt in DLM.

Wow, it appears no one on this board knows how any testing is ever done. The rule about refusing a test being an auto-fail is no different than refusing a blood, urine or field sobriety test if you're pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. You refuse the test, it's an admission of guilt.

Don't know the guy from Adam, but to refuse the test is stupid. Take the test and you pass, you did nothing wrong, take the test and you fail, it's the same penalty as refusing the test.

As far as I'm concerned, to get a driver's license to drive on the street you should have to pass a drug test (same goes for applying for welfare or unemployment benefits). But let's all concern ourselves with the thought of "it's their free time, they can do what they want" and ignore the fact that except over-the-counter and prescriptions, most drugs are ILLEGAL federally (doesn't matter that certain states allow marijuana use, it's still illegal federally).

Hate to break this news to most of you, but the drivers and teams that follow the WoO are the ones that push for drug testing, not the sanctioning body. They want to ensure that anyone on the track with them is clean, it's dangerous enough without adding drugs or alcohol to the mix.

I like the rule, and obviously there is a reason he didn't do the test....

were not talking public highways, were talking private property , only consequences would come from track owner and sanctioning body, nothing criminal. I think if this is a sanctioning body issue, then let all the members/drivers vote on it and then if they vote this rule in, they should make every entrant to there event pee in a cup upon entering the event and test them right then. my mother was a probation officer for 33 yrs and even back then they had test that would give you instant results, so if a driver comes back hot, then they are disqualified right then before the race ever starts, like i said , final nail in the coffin. And by the way. I would pass, but thats beside the point , lets also have a breath alizer there to.....
