Speculation if fine, but so is knowing the topic you're speculating on. Otherwise it's more akin to "guesstimating" Mayfield has said it was a mix of Claritin D and a script given to him by a doctor. "Now, banning a guy for having pot in his system strikes me as being particularly stupid, unless you have evidence that they’re on the track while high, And seriously, who in their right mind is going to race while stoned?" Um, maybe because it's an illegal substance? It;s not the "right mind' that's a problem, Aaron Fike was banned and admitted driving while high on heroin. Suggestion, until you do more blogging on racing it might hekp to know the subject. “But hey, since this is the internet, we can speculate … and to me, this is going to be one of two things: either pot or steroids.” Speculation if fine, but so is knowing the topic you’re speculating on.

I read the thing about how it gives you sharper eyesight, but don't eye-droppers give you that too? Seems like NASCAR is just too centered on itself as being a real "sport".
