The Penske statement said Hornish will be in the car at Indy and Pocono. That leads me to believe, they may be looking for a road course ringer. What better ringer than Robby. Again, if you think about it, its not that hard to make the connection.

"In accordance with NASCAR's Substance Abuse Policy, Penske Racing was notified today of AJ Allmendinger's positive B sample test. We respect NASCAR's policy and the process they have taken with this matter. Penske Racing is very disappointed with the result of the B sample test and will evaluate its course of action as it pertains to AJ over the coming week. Sam Hornish Jr., will drive the #22 Dodge Charger this weekend at Indianapolis and next weekend at Pocono."(Penske Racing)

On June 28th, the appeals process expired for Jeremy Mayfield effectively ending his fight with NASCAR. Less than a week later, Allmendinger comes up positive. Just sayin'.

During Mayfield's numerous appeals, David Black, Ph.D., owing to NASCAR policy, refused to specify the substance for which Mayfield tested positive, instead saying it was "a drug of concern." The Methamphetamine rumor was planted on the interweb and promoted by the NASCAR Citizen Journalists Media Corp. I think it's important to note that Dr. Black uses a "mathematical calculation" of his own invention to confirm a positive result. During the Mayfield legal proceedings, Dr. Black refused to elaborate on the methodology used in his calculations citing Intellectual Property law and First Amendment rights.

My hope is that AJ doesn't go down the Mayfield path. It's a proven ruinous path both financially and to human integrity. It's a stacked deck. Those who know AJ and Lynne also know they are reputable, quality people.

WJM how many times have I said that NASCAR has become just as phony as WWE ? Well this just proves my point . It's almost laughable . As I'm typing this I'm watching a Degeneration X ( Shawn Michaels and Triple H for those who don't follow wrestling ) and it makes me compare the 2

Vince McMahon = Brian France
Shawn Michaels = Dale Earnhardt Jr
Triple H = Tony Stewart
John Cena = Carl Edwards

Hope you all enjoy this comical look at WWE vs NASCAR . LMAO
