AJ Allmendinger has made his first comments about failing a NASCAR drug test in a statement released Tuesday afternoon:
AJ Allmendinger Releases Statement On Positive NASCAR Drug Test
”I have informed NASCAR that I have requested that the ‘B’ sample be tested, following the steps according to NASCAR’s 2012 rule book regarding this situation. I fully respect NASCAR’s drug usage policy and the reasons they have it.
I am hoping this can get resolved as quickly as possible so that I can get back to driving the No. 22 Penske Racing Dodge. I am sorry that this has caused such a distraction for my Penske Racing team, our sponsors and fans.
Obviously I would never do anything to jeopardize my opportunity here at Penske Racing or to my fellow drivers. I am very conscious about my training and health and would never knowingly take a prohibited drug.”
Penske Racing has said Sam Hornish Jr. will drive for Allmendinger this weekend at New Hampshire while the results of the ‘B’ sample are pending.
