Why can't the public know the list of Nascars banned substances? Shouldn't this possibly pertain to all drivers health and safety?

If you have to ask, it probably is..

What's the point, now?  He's been driven out of the sport...

No such list exists for the drivers according to this article on jayskis but I can only guess it's close to what the crews are tested for 

http://www.jayski.com/teams/drug-policy.htm
Among the substances NASCAR crews must be tested for are:
- Seven different amphetamines, including methamphetamine and PMA, a synthetic psychostimulant and hallucinogen.
- Three drugs classified under ephedrine.
- 13 different narcotics, including codeine and morphine.
- Ten different benzodiazepines and barbituates.
- Marijuana, cocaine, zolpidem, nitrites, chromates and drugs that can increase specific gravity.
(the crews include - pit crew members, including "over-the-wall" crew members, the crew chief, car chief, team members responsible for tires, fuel and pit crew operation, spotters and race-day support personnel that includes engineers, engine tuners, shock specialists, chassis specialists and tire specialists). No such list exists for the drivers

I'd love to see them test the upper levels of mgt in nascar............Something tells me more then a few would be facing a suspension.

Nitrite tests for commonly used commercial adulterants such as Klear or Whizzies. They work by oxidizing the major cannabinoid metabolite THC-COOH. Normal urine should contain no trace of nitrite. Positive results generally indicate the presence of an adulterant

Nitrate, whats in yourt hot dog.....

Interesting................wonder how they differentiate when testing.

 

[Kline34j]

After some reading, it appears that nitrites are not normally in urine (above a minute level) the presence of nitrites would indicate a "tampered sample" such as the following. Must be why I had to watch people pee all those years int military (worse than KP)
