CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 10 (UPI) -- Race car driver A.J. Allmendinger, under "temporary suspension" from NASCAR for a substance abuse violation, said Tuesday he wants another sample tested.
The 30-year-old Sprint Cup Series driver failed the initial drug test of his "A" sample taken the last weekend in June while he was competing at Kentucky Speedway. Allmendinger said in a statement he is petitioning NASCAR to test his "B" sample.
