Harvick should drug test Roush for talking to Danica.

A great move on Harvick’s part. Just do it correctly, don’t jump to conclusions and don’t violate anyone’s rights. I have always worked where drug testing was implemented. I have no problem with it. I have nothing to hide. Who would want their safety compromised by some moron that’s high? And when you are involved in a sport where safety is such a big issue, you want to minimize as many mistakes as you can. I can’t imagine a crew chief or spotter doing a line or two of cocaine, getting into position and then forgetting what they just told their driver on the radio. Or a tire changer laughing because he can’t remember tightening all the lugnuts. Prescription drugs have a place in this world. Recreational ones combined with motorsports don’t. Safety cannot be compromised.

You can do whatever you want ,but not when your driving 190+mph with other people around putting their lives in jeopardy.It cost about ten dollars a test,cost is not an issue.Your private things are private,but your boss(In this case Kevin Harvick) has every right to test his employees, if they,and you ganjadude,don’t like it you/they can go somewhere else.It’s the responsible thing to do in racing,so go home and smoke your ganga,play with your guns,and look at your porn,I’m pretty sure your safe there.

it does not make it right

how would you like it if i went to your house and went through all your stuff, you know to make sure you didnt have any illegal weapons or kiddy porn on your computer? You wouldnt like that very much at all now would you, especially if you werent acting as if you had any reason for this thing. Same goes for your body.

unless a member of a team is showing signs that affect his ability to do the job he was hired for, this is a waste of money. it costs a company a few hundred dollars to do each test. It also makes you feel as if your boss doesnt trust you. Lose the trust, lose the team

I like his idea of testing everytime you go to the infield care center following a crash. Your there anyway so it would make alot of sense and it’s standard procedure when you get hurt on the job.

Yup. Glad he’s taking the lead and trying to set some kind of example on this. I’ve got to imagine some other teams test their employees, but I’ve never heard it mentioned before.

Thumbs up to Kevin. Drug testing should be done on everyone on a regular basis.
