... to look into changing drug-testing policy.
NASCAR president Brian France has appointed a group of company officials to an interim committee that will study the sport’s drug policy, vice president of communications Jim Hunter said Friday. The group, whose members Hunter said have “been around a long time and know the sport,” will report back to France with any recommendations “within six weeks or so.” Among the topics they will survey, Hunter said, is whether or not to add a staff substance abuse expert & whether or not random testing should be implemented. Currently, drivers are drug tested only under “reasonable suspicion.” Any change to the policy, Hunter said, wouldn’t likely take place until the 2009 season.
