Truck crewman violates substance abuse policy

Andrew Crnkovic, a crew member for the No. 07 team in the Camping World Truck Series, has been suspended indefinitely from NASCAR for violating the sanctioning body's substance abuse policy.

On May 21, Crnkovic was found to have violated Section 7-5 (violation of the NASCAR substance abuse policy) of the 2009 rule book.

The No. 07 truck is driven by Chad McCumbee, who is currently eighth in the points standings for owner Ken Smith and SS Green Light Racing. McCumbee has one top-five and three top-10s in the first six races this season.

"It is and always has been the philosophy of the SS-Green Light Racing team that substance abuse has no place in sports or on our team," the team said in a statement. "We have a "no-tolerance" substance abuse policy and we intend to uphold that policy and follow through with the standards of conduct we have established for our team.

"Additionally, we have great respect for the drug testing policies NASCAR has in place and believe the changes have made a positive difference for NASCAR."
