Must have been quite a party last nite.

WOW.. Nascar would have had that on the front page... NHRA only talks about it in the qualifying order

Most types of mouth wash/rinse can cause this also.

Ed Carpenter · 09-18-2010, 02:55 PM

I'm sure Allen was rinsing his mouth with mouthwash right before the test. Whatever.

It's a GM conspiracy!! LOL

Statement from Allen Johnson

CONCORD, N.C. -- "I went to a late dinner last night with my family and had a few alcoholic beverages with my meal. I felt no ill effects from the alcohol I consumed. This morning, when I learned I had been chosen for a random alcohol and drug test by the NHRA, one of many I have taken and passed over the years, I took it immediately, even though I had 24 hours in which to take the test. Unfortunately, a trace amount of alcohol registered in my system, leading to my disqualification from the O'Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Nationals.

"I fully support the NHRA's zero tolerance policy in regards to alcohol and I understand their decision in this matter. I would like to apologize to the NHRA, my fans and to my sponsors for any disappointment that I have caused. I love drag racing and I would never do anything to purposely disrespect the sport or its fans."

Maybe not as funny as you would think. Say you had a car that was barely qualifying or not qualifying and you saw someone who had one of the top qualifiers at a restaurant/bar and he was consuming his share.........would it not be tempting to put a bug in an NHRA official's ear? So you're random testing is not so random.............. I'm just sayin'
