]]> On Tuesday, NASCAR announced the indefinite suspension of two crewmen for violation of the sanctioning body’s substance abuse policy. Jackson L. Dodson II, member of the No. 15 Michael Waltrip Racing crew in the Sprint Cup Series, and Frank W. Earnhardt, member of a team in the Nationwide Series, were found by NASCAR to be in violation of sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing) and 19 (violation of the NASCAR substance abuse policy).

As with drivers, both Dodson and Earnhardt may re-obtain eligibility to compete in NASCAR again, should they enroll in and complete NASCAR’s Road to Recovery Program. But at least one of them would have to search for new employment to do so, as Dodson was fired from MWR.

Former NASCAR driver arrested for drugs after multi-state chase - Stock Car Spin - Stock Car Spin - A NASCAR Blog

]]> Tyler Walker may have been suspended from NASCAR competition in 2007 because of a failed drug test, but apparently, the former Nationwide and Camping World Truck series competitor still likes to drive fast. Last week, he led police on a multi-state chase through Nevada, Arizona and Utah.

Walker’s car was stopped by spikes laid down police. Walker then got out of his car and fled on foot. When he was finally apprehended, he was arrested on several alcohol and drug-related charges.

“During an inventory of the vehicle, methamphetamine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and alcohol were found,” Utah Highway Patrol Corporal Todd Johnson said, according to the St. George (Utah) Spectrum.

Raelie McDonald, a passenger in the car, was also arrested.

Before his suspension, Walker competed in 19 Nationwide Series races and nine Camping World Truck Series event. His stats include a single top-10 finish in Truck Series competition.

Not only does Walker seem to still enjoy driving fast, he must still enjoy what got him suspended.
