"remains in violation of NHRA rules "
What are they saying here?

That caught my eye as well. While I understand that "toxicological blood analysis" is probably standard on any autopsy, using the wording "remains in violation" makes it seem like they intend on taking further action on the matter.
While drinking the least bit and getting behind the wheel of a racecar can be considered foolish behavior, I don't know if it would've changed the outcome of the crash.
By the way, does anyone know about how much .02 is? Most states have a .08 or .10 limit? My first impression is that its not a whole lot.
