A.J Allmendinger speaks out on failed drug test

Today A.J Allmendinger spoke out for the first time about his positive drug test. His statement is below:

“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.”
Allmendinger was taken out of the #22 Penske Racing Dodge for Saturday nights Coke Zero 400 at Daytona, and replaced by driver Sam Hornish Jr. Sam will be in the car this weekend at New Hampshire.
