Kevin Grubb Suspended Indefinitely Again: UPDATE: NASCAR today suspended Busch Series driver Kevin Grubb indefinitely for failing to comply with the sanctioning body's substance abuse policy. Grubb, 28 and driver of the #56 Chevy in the series, was suspended for failure to comply with the substance abuse policy and a refusal to submit to required testing. NASCAR's statement did not say when the refusal to submit to a test took place. This is Grubb's second offense and the second time he has been suspended indefinitely.(SceneDaily.com)(9-12-2006)
UPDATE: NASCAR suspended Kevin Grubb indefinitely on Tuesday because he refused to submit to a random drug test following the Busch Series race at Richmond. Grubb was suspended in March 2004 for failing a drug test, but agreed as part of his reinstatement this June to random testing. But when NASCAR officials approached him after Friday night's Busch race, he twice refused to submit a sample, spokesman Jim Hunter said. "He did not give any reason Friday night, he just refused twice to submit to a test and part of his reinstatement was that he would agree," Hunter said. "Our medical liaisons have experience and know what they are doing, and they explained the consequences to him several times." Although Grubb wrecked on the first lap of the Busch race and finished last, Hunter said the test was random and NASCAR was not accusing him of being under the influence of any illegal substances.(Associated Press)(9-12-2006)

What a shame!

Addiction, in any form, is a big nasty monster.

I think the worse thing he could do was to refuse to take the test. He left Nascar with no option. A refusal is looked upon as admission of guilt, I don't know the particulars of what would have happened had he tested dirty, but it does look bad. I feel sorry for him and hope that he gets things together. It is reminiscent of Shane Hmiel, and a pure waste to throw away the talent and opportunity that these young men had.

Grubb said he was confused because of the crash and didn't know what was going on. His doctor said he had a mild concussion. He said he offered to take a test on Sat (I think it was), so maybe he'll be reinstated. Or maybe he already has.

I was so glad to hear this

Me too! I had not heard that, and it truly makes me feel better about the situation. I hope that he was allowed to take the test and that it is negative.

If y'all hear, please let me know.
