CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR has suspended former driver Randy LaJoie for violating its substance-abuse policy.
In an interview Tuesday on SIRIUS XM Radio, Lajoie says he smoked marijuana once in May.
LaJoie was tested by NASCAR because he wanted to become a spotter for one of Joe Gibbs Racing’s Nationwide Series teams.
He has not competed at any of NASCAR’s top three national levels since 2006 and has been an analyst for NASCAR the past several years.
