UPDATE: Grubb was punished for refusing to take a drug test after an accident ended his run in the Emerson Radio 250 on Friday night at Richmond International Raceway. Grubb was suspended indefinitely in March 2004 for violating NASCAR's substance-abuse policy. He was reinstated June 7 with the understanding he would submit to periodic drug testing. Jim Hunter, NASCAR's vice president of corporate communications, said several attempts were made to persuade Grubb to submit to a test Friday night. "He was on a program where he agreed to be tested at any time," Hunter said. "He, for whatever reason, refused to be tested." Hunter said doctors and "medical liaisons" were involved. Grubb said the force of the accident, which came on Lap 2 in the Busch Series race, made things "foggy" shortly thereafter. He was treated and released from the infield care center after the crash. "I don't remember most of being at the track," Grubb said. "I had people pulling me in 20 different directions. I ended up leaving, from what I understand." Grubb said he woke up Sunday morning, still feeling "terrible" and unable to remember what day it was. He went to the hospital and was diagnosed with a concussion. "I'm guessing that explains me acting crazy at the track," Grubb said. "I didn't know what was going on."
Grubb said he called NASCAR officials Monday morning when he heard of the suspension. He was directed to talk to Dr. David L. Black, who is in charge of NASCAR's substance-abuse program. He set up the program for reinstatement that Grubb was on, and will be the person to set up a program if he were to try to be reinstated again. "Kevin was reinstated based on the recommendation of Dr. Black," Hunter said. "The reason he needs to talk to Dr. Black is that if he hopes to be reinstated again, then he needs to talk to him." Grubb said he has called Black several times but has yet to receive a return call. A call to Dr. Black's office late yesterday afternoon was not returned by press time. Grubb said he still is feeling the aftereffects, sleeping a lot and feeling "pretty foggy." He says he's confident he and NASCAR will come to an agreement, and reiterates he didn't suffer a relapse. He says he's fine with officials observing him or testing him as often as necessary. "I've been clean the whole time," Grubb said. "The next day, once I found out all the things that happened, I offered to take it. I'm ready to put the ball in action. I'm sure we'll get something situated out of that. I worked very hard to get my life back to where it was. I don't see it being thrown away in one night."(Richmond Times Dispatch)(9-13-2006)

Come on Kevin ! Hope this is true myself.

ALRIGHTCuss [:cuss] I don't get what NASCAR is doing, just because he crashed the car, they drug test him??

So what the next time Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, or Kevin Harvick crash they are gonna give them a drug test.

Sounds like a bunch of bullDookie [:dookie]

 Where has anyone said he was asked to take a test because he crashed a car? When were JG, JJ, TS or KH suspended for drug use and placed on probation which includes randon drug testing at NASCAR's discretion?

 

It is really a simple concept, NASCAR can test Mr Grubb at any time for no reason if they choose. I have a problem with the entire scenario from Kevin's story. How could he be released from infield care and be so woozy he does not remember being at the track? Why did he refuse the test whether he could remember it or not? He seems to know a hell of a lot about it now. Don't sound like a solid story to me.
