Darrow Suspended Over NASCAR Policy






CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NASCAR on Thursday suspended crew chief Glenn Darrow indefinitely for violating its substance abuse policy.


Darrow, crew chief for Tony Raines' Nextel Cup car, was tested for banned substances last Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway. The results were positive, leading to an automatic suspension.

NASCAR did not identify the substance and several series officials did not immediately return phone messages left Thursday.


Darrow becomes the second person suspended by NASCAR this season for failing a substance abuse test.


Busch Series regular Shane Hmiel will not be allowed to return to NASCAR before 2007 after failing a test earlier this season. It is Hmiel's second suspension — he also failed a test in September 2003.


NASCAR's substance abuse policy, based on "reasonable suspicion," allows the sanctioning organization to broadly administer tests anytime, anywhere.
