It's the Martinsville effect. Slow tracks = less aero dependency = less dirty air = more close racing = more passing + more contact, as damaged aero not an issue.

It will all go down the shitter should they ever decide to run big, fast aero tracks, of which there are thankfully none in Canada.

Gotta want to stop first. This is his second go with DUI and I see that the stakes are raised with some righteous Oxy's. Copious booze coupled with lines of opiates is usually a good concoction to hit bottom.

I agree that if NASCAR doesn't follow it's own policy with him then they truly are lost. On a personal note, I do sincerely hope he seeks help.

Brian France takes a leave of absence, Jim France to step in

As hard as this is to admit for me, and I'm comfortable these days, I have been arrested for a DUI. It was a absolutely stupid move on my part that I will forever regret. I was in shambles for weeks, not only because I didnt know what to expect but thinking of how reckless that was on my part and how I could have impacted innocent people. I cried in my own self pity which was selfish. I took it as a chance to learn and improve myself. I lost my license for 4 months. I bought a bicycle and found a new hobby. What I did was ridiculous. Do I have a drink here and there? Yes, but I will NEVER get behind the wheel again even after 1. One has to reflect, learn and want to progress. I was lucky, after $5k in fees, classes, and absolute humility. Unfortunately not everyone feels the same.
