Ok so it was a "stimulant" and dietary supplements are on the black list for substance testing in Nascar. Vitamin B12 is a dietary supplement that is a stimulant in high dosed %s (5000-12,000% daily value for example).

Is NASCAR so crazy about one guy having an advantage over the other they are concerned with someone having an energy drink before they drive?

On the other hand if it was something hard like cocaine or w/e he should be thrown out no questions asked.

Hopefully this isn't something serious and it's just a supplement. On one hand you don't want a guy out driving on drugs that would endanger other drivers and fans, on the other hand if it's something light come on...thats ridiculous.

More evidence is needed to form an opinion or statement on whats going on.

Hey, wouldn't it be something if a driver was pulled out of his car for too much Monster Energy or Red Bull? Shocked

Positive. He's gone from the 22 for at least awhile. A career trainwreck for now for the kid. As for the future, Roger has always been squeaky clean. Best of luck for him, hope he's back in a car soon.

Good luck AJ!

Fellow karters,

I think that this is a time for us to rally around one of our own and wish AJ the very best in handling this difficult situation.

AJ, I'm behind you 100% and hope to see you back in a race car as soon as possible.

Your friend,

Rob

I feel the same way. I can't see him doing something that would jeopardize his career like this especially after seeing what happened to Jeremy Mayfield. There has to be some sort of logical explanation and I don't think he is a user. I hope to see him back in the 22 car soon and I hope they get to the bottom of this immediately.
