NASCAR: NASCAR reinstated former driver Randy LaJoie following his suspension for a failed drug test.
LaJoie was suspended in June for violating NASCAR’s substance abuse policy. He said at the time he had smoked marijuana in May. In reinstating him, NASCAR said he successfully completed a counseling program.
LaJoie, who was also an ESPN analyst, was suspended by the network following his suspension. He had been drug tested randomly by NASCAR because he applied for a license to become a spotter for one of Joe Gibbs Racing’s Nationwide Series teams.
