Another NASCAR Substance Abuse Suspension

Question: Is this Mike McLaughlin by any chance the son of Mike "Magic Shoes" McLaughlin, the former great NASCAR modified driver and one time Busch Series driver for Cicci-Welliver and Joe Gibbs?

NASCAR suspends crew member for substance abuse

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- NASCAR has suspended a crew member for a Trucks Series team for violating its substance abuse policy.

Michael McLaughlin, a licensed crew member for the No. 23 team in the Truck Series, has been indefinitely suspended from NASCAR for violating the sanctioning body's substance abuse policy.

McLaughlin also was found on Tuesday to have committed actions detrimental to stock car racing.

Sad, nonetheless. In the past decade I saw an extremely talented driver from Richmond first lose his ride, then be banned from NASCAR, then take his own life due to substance abuse. One of our children has had a longtime battle with the issue and I feel for any family who faces substance abuse.

I experimented with marijuana a time or two but, I never inhaled, did not like, and never tried it again. Oh, wait, I'm thinking of someone else.

Define substance abuse, because I might do it every time I go to the track, I inhale a lot of exhaust fumes and really like the way it smells.

Of all the comments here I applaud Leon Phillips the loudest. All of you make good points but Leon nailed it! For any of you who have not met Mr. Phillips, he is one of God's finest creations and someone I am so very proud to have call me his friend and I'm allowed to call him mine! I'm with you Leon. Let's grill some hamburgers.
