“In his first in-depth interview since being arrested for heroin possession last summer, the 25-year-old [Aaron Fike] said he had been using heroin for eight months and suffered from a dependency on painkillers for six years before that. In the weeks prior to his arrest, his once-a-week experiment with heroin had become a daily routine, including the days he was competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.” -ESPN.COM

Talk about riding dirty. Holy hell. Can’t he be arrested for driving under the influence or something? BTW, I think after you hit the once-a-week mark, your doing a tad more than experimenting.
Good point, I think he was beyond the experimentation phase. It’s also interesting because it just may show how little skill is involved in NASCAR racing.
You would never hear of such a thing in high-class Formula 1 racing, eh Medium?
Good point Katie D, the Formula Oners probably stick to coke.
Oh man, there is such a great subtext to this whole thing.
By taking an extremely powerful sedative, a driver was still able to compete in the auto racing sedative known as NASCAR.
