Monday, May 11, 2009
Roush Fenway Racing says Ben Williams, who was suspended by NASCAR last week for violating its substance-abuse policy, has resigned and is no longer with the team.
Williams served as gas man on Roush Fenway’s No. 16 NASCAR Nationwide Series team, but a team spokesperson said he has resigned. The team had no other comment.
Williams, Sprint Cup driver/owner Jeremy Mayfield and Front Row Motorsports Cup crew member Tony Martin were all indefinitely suspended Saturday for violations of the substance-abuse policy.

Report as AbuseSay this with your best (or worst) NAZI accent and you will have my opinion of what our WHOLE nation has come to. Can you say POLICE STATE??? I do not advocate drug abuse, but if you test one person, test everyone in the whole organization. From the France's on down. Brian France, you should go first, without warning so you can clean up, and if you have any objection to that, you should drop the whole thing. Otherwise, don't drag the offenders through the mud, just let them go. Their shame will come from their friends and families knowing what happened.

May 12, 2009 at 1:17 PMHey Art, if they (they being the government) did that in the prohibition era, then most of the people with money would not have money. Ever look into where Joe Kennedy Sr. got his money???? Selling chemicals to the NAZI's in the '30s, and running booze during prohibition. Check out the history of Westinghouse and Dupont. Money runs government, money runs NASCAR. Go ahead and say it, money. MONEY MONEY MONEY. Drugs, in whatever form, be it alcohol, pot, pills or worse, will always be a part of our culture because we are not a perfect society. Therefore, as people pursue wealth and prosperity, they will try and achieve it doing what they do best. People with little or no education, or skills to make a better than average living will do what they have to in order to achieve the level of comfort they want out of this life. The real problem is with our government, making people believe they care about anything more than money. If you don't believe that, ask yourself how come congress gets to vote for their own raises, and why, if they are the voice of the people, do they need more money than average people earn??? Let us all have our freedom!!! Long live the spirit of Patrick Henry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 12, 2009 at 3:02 PMGood one number 10, got me to LOL at least. Yes, ANY manmade government is no good. Man has proven long ago that he canNOT rule himself. But he has had every chance to do so. The day will come when ALL the governments will be destroyed. Going to have to be a BIG time crash, but it will happen. Society as WE know it is way out of hand. NO hope for it at all.
