Bayley Currey has been reinstated by NASCAR after successfully completing its Road to Recovery program, NASCAR announced Wednesday (Sept 18).
Currey was suspended on Aug. 15 after he failed a drug test before the races at Bristol Motor Speedway. The substance was from a pre-workout supplement, according to Currey.
“I was obviously not aware that I was violating NASCAR’s Substance Abuse Policy,” Currey said at the time. “I have immediately asked NASCAR to enter me into the Road to Recovery Program where I will gain more knowledge about such banned supplements and I will fully cooperate with NASCAR‘s direction and advice.”
Currey drove in nine Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series starts this year for Rick Ware Racing prior to the suspension.
He has also competed in 19 Xfinity and Gander Outdoors Truck series events and has a career-best finish of ninth place at Michigan International Speedway in the Truck Series this year.
Currey’s plans for the rest of the season have not yet been announced.

These failed drugs test are so BS. People don’t even know they are violating the drug policy. Zero tolerance without a chance for the accused/guilty one to understand and explain what he/she has done is like living in a gestapo state. A little common sense could save that molehill from becoming a waste of time & money of a mountain. BTW, has BZF finished his road to recovery? Did he even have to go!
Why are these over the counter products even for sale if they are so bad for you? I want a doctor to tell us what is the harm of these products. Most of those health supplements are worthless.
