They do random testing now, and it doesn’t work. If they give set times that they’ll test, then drivers can have a buddy pee in a baggie and then use that to past the test. Test them week in and week out and you will rid the sport of all the lowlifes that don’t deserve to be racing.

Heck If I’m a driver and I know I’m clean, I’d have no problem with them testing me every week, or heck every day. It’s only the users that would be objective to that.

That is insane I mean theres no need to test weekly but I think every driver should be tested like 4 times during the season and not no when until nascar walks up and hands them a cup.

If you test weekly you will catch everybody and anybody who is doing drugs. If you test only 4 times a year, there is less of a chance that the drugs will still be in that persons system.

MMA Fighters have to be tested before and after each fight, so why should racers not be tested before and after each race? While MMA may be one of the most dangerous Combat sports for the participants, Auto Racing is Dangerous for the Participants (drivers), Participants (crews), The people covering the race for the media, the officials, and the fans.

Baseball tests 4 times during season and they catch guys all the time,if the drivers dont know when the test is coming and somebody is using they would catch it,and mma testing is mostly to do with hiv/aids and a fighter doesnt fight every week,to test every driver weekly would be to expensive and no the driver shouldnt have to pay for any of it.

Now people might say “Why should the drivers have to pay for drug testing?”, Its simple, they want to do the type of work they do, making the kind of money they do, and if they have nothing to hide, they should have no problem paying at least 25% of the cost to prove they have nothing to hide.

Hopefully with what has come out in the Fike deal and with all the big name guys speaking up, something will happen. There’s already potential for serious injury or death in racing… That doesn’t need to be complicated by drivers who are high on smack, drunk, or anything else. NASCAR can talk about the CoT, SAFER barriers, and HANS devices all they want, but a major safety issue is right there in the car with its hands on the wheel!
