no shocker here for me

his career is OFFICIALLY over

[Reno Paul]

His Nascar career is over.

I still think a mid-tier Indy team may take a chance on him..........

[shaunovery]

Yeah I think a team will take a chance on him

[5mike5]

no nascar team will

no sponsor will want that baggage

plus like ive said b4, hes never been a successful driver in nascar...

so why would they when u think about it

[Reno Paul]

I still think that Dinger deserves a second chance somewhere. Probably won't be in Nascar though.

As long as he tests clean from here on in....

[Vegas39]

I agree with mike he is done. After his DUI a few years back and now this. Can't see any owners trying to see an average driver to sponsors

[5mike5]

Dinger tells Marty Smith that he tested positive for prescription Drug ADDERALL

which can be very addictive

[5mike5]

the interview with allmeindinger will be TODAY on NASCAR NOW on ESPN2

it was GOOD interview

although it was also strange, he said he "lost who he was" and a few other odd things

claimed he only took it 1 time, yet said things that made it sound very different and like he had some problems with the pressure of CUP driver.and all that comes with it...didnt do anything that would help or hurt imo

its a must watch though

[Optional]

It is a bit tough to take 100% seriously when he starts out by saying he took a supplement once only. What sort of buddy would sabotage you like that?

Think that interview left me caring a little less whether he makes it back or not really.

[5mike5]

EXACTLY opti.....

thats the lamest thing ive ever heard..."it was only 1 time mom and dad"...he comes off as a total liar

but then goes on to say how hes forgot who he was and what he stands for???

and makes no sense why a "friend" would put a prescrition drug in a energy drink....its not like adderall comes in supplements!!

come on

[MatI]

Nice story AJ. But I have to call bullshit on the Adderall.

[5mike5]

nascar source tells d.newton:

VERY UNLIKELY that dinger failed test from 1 pill---LMAO...really?!!!

and he wil NOT be done with recovery program in august (like he said) or close to it even

DINGER exposed for the liar we all knew he was already

embarrassing

[Reno Paul]

Dinger's buddy just got reinstated......

NASCAR has reinstated driver Aaron Fike upon his successful completion of NASCAR’s Substance Abuse Policy Road to Recovery Program. Fike had been indefinitely suspended from NASCAR July 11, 2007 for actions detrimental to stock car racing.



Is Aaron Fike somehow related to Barney Fike????

[Vegas39]

Took him 5 years and AJ thought he'd be back in a month

[5mike5]

AJ was just reinstated

[Vegas39]

who will hire him

[5mike5]

who will hire him

i think indy lights series is shooting for the stars

[Reno Paul]

I just read that Penske may consider that A.J. have an open wheel seat.

That's a huge vote of confidence if true.

[Vegas39]

If true about Penske the Mike is right its Indy lights. Can't see Penske replacing Power,Helio or Briscoe for AJ

[5mike5]

yeah that wont happen, talking of replacing those 3 i agree

hes just sayin those things so kid gets a chance somewhere because he likes him and wants him to get behind a wheel somewhere

-1500 he never sees any top 3 nascar series...maybe slightest hope for truck race, but i dont even see that...no sponsor wants him

[5mike5]

plus he just isnt a good stock car driver..

never has been

Well I guess he's getting a "test drive" now.

[Optional]

It will be tough to look better than Smith in the #88.

Although all he has to do is bring the car back in one piece, and not get parked, to look better than Kurt did in that car
