DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – In what can only be described as a shocking admission, Brian France revealed today that he has, in fact, used Coke on a daily basis for a few years now… even on days that he was scheduled to make important decisions regarding how NASCAR is run. Fans may remember that a few …
Since the last time we talked, our team did a NASCAR official Truck Series test at Martinsville. The Ford Powerstroke Diesel ran well for two days, and the Maxx Force Diesel ran well for two days with Brendan Gaughan.

Recent shocking revelations that former Craftsman Truck and Nationwide series driver Aaron Fike not only concealed a painkiller addiction from NASCAR officials, but competed in CTS events after using heroin on race day has renewed criticism of the sanctioning body’s present drug-testing policies. At the moment, NASCAR does not have a random drug-screening policy like …
Since it was reported that Aaron Fike raced under the influence of heroin, it has come to light that many of NASCAR’s biggest names have never been drug tested.

Today’s Question: Jeremy Mayfield was removed in place of Johnny Sauter at Haas CNC Racing this week. Was this move the right call?
Thanks for the Qs this week, everyone. This is the place for them, be they questions, rants, comments, ideas or tongue-lashings. As always, I’m interested to hear what you have to say.
