NASCAR has suspended a Sprint Cup driver under terms of its substance abuse policy - immediately and indefinitely - in advance of Saturday nightís race at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, ThatsRacin.com and The Charlotte Observer have learned.

Sources said the driver, who has not been identified by officials, was found to have violated Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing) and 7-5 (violation of the NASCAR substance abuse policy) of the 2009 NASCAR rule book. The determination was based on findings at last weekendís race at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway.

NASCAR on Saturday declined to discuss the matter, saying that questions would be dealt with in a news conference at the South Carolina track on Saturday at 6 p.m.

Such a suspension would be the first under NASCARís drug policies for a driver at the top level, the Spring Cup Series.

Don't think so. Joe let's Speed in the car and gets some much needed coin from Red Bull to keep on racing. ESPN reports that it is someone who is not competing at this week at Darlington.

yeah,just the fact that no Red Bull decals on the car raised an eyebrow to me.

20 people at Mayfield Motorsports just lost their jobs. No potential sponsor is going to touch him now.
