DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — AJ Allmendinger has been suspended temporarily by NASCAR for failing a random drug test.
Allmendinger’s Penske Racing team put Nationwide Series regular Sam Hornish Jr. in the No. 22 car for Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway, according to a statement. Allmendinger underwent a random drug test administered last weekend at Kentucky Speedway, and his ‘A’ sample from that test came up positive, according to Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s senior vice president for racing operations.
O’Donnell added that Allmendinger had 72 hours to request a test of his ‘B’ sample, per the NASCAR rule book. If he declines that test, or if that test also comes up positive, his suspension will become indefinite.
The Penske team said NASCAR notified it of Allmendinger’s suspension Saturday afternoon. “NASCAR has a strict drug testing program that Penske Racing fully supports,” the team said in a statement. “Penske Racing will work with NASCAR through this process and its next steps. Sam Hornish Jr. will drive the No. 22 car in tonight’s Coke Zero 400.”
Allmendinger’s Penske teammate, Brad Keselowski, added on Twitter: “No comments on 22 car tonight as we focus on tonight’s race. Thank [you] in advance.”
Hornish had returned to the Charlotte, N.C., area after Friday night’s Nationwide race at Daytona, and was flying back to the speedway late Saturday afternoon.
I just checked on a whim and it was open. A 0 point car is no way to win a race. Go Juan Pablor!!
Lucky! Heck, I have yet to pick a winner of a race this year as is,, I think the lowest ya can get is 6 points for 43rd.. been there done that two weeks in a row last month.. I’m Juniored up for now,, Smoke with a Keselowski still possibly to be swapped, and bayne caboose
I probably pissed off the rest of the league that kept the info to themselves. LOL!
Wow that’s a big deal.
The rumor mill will go wild with that one.
Just in case. There’s still time.
Deadline to swap Starters and Bench drivers is Jul 7 4:44pm PDT
Hornish’s jet is touching down.. looks like he might make it in time..

Remember when?
Coke Zero and Danica commercial.. Looks like a hair shampoo ad.
Sam has climbed in the car, and is leaving pit road to assume his position at the end of the field. Hope he and Smoke hook up and climb to the front nice and clean.
My line-up is set
Harvick
Newman
E Jr.
Almirola
Pabler was a head-fake, he will probably win now.
Tonight I am running:
Short Timer Kenseth
Jr
Menard
Bayne
PLEASE AB...this is a family thread and it is HOLEY CARP...

I wonder how often the drivers are tested
