At New Hampshire Motor Speedway concerning the story that Craftsman Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday had used a testosterone cream during the 2004 and 2005 seasons.
Hornaday said he used the substance not for any type of performance enhancement but rather to battle a mysterious illness that doctors were struggling to diagnose. It was later found that Hornaday was suffering from Grave’s disease, a thyroid disorder that he continues to be treated for.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he understands the situation Hornaday was in. But that doesn’t mean Earnhardt isn’t ready to see some harsh drug testing standards in NASCAR.
“I hope we get a strict consistent policy,” Earnhardt said at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. “I would like to have drug testing every two weeks or something like that. That would be awesome.”
“I want to catch somebody who is fooling around,” Earnhardt said. “I don’t want to be a jerk about it but I don’t want it anywhere around me. I don’t want to be involved in a race with anyone that’s not playing by the rules and not making good judgment decisions.I don’t really see anything right now that gives me reasonable suspicion and I didn’t before and then Ron comes out with his deal so maybe we need more than reasonable suspicion.”
