    His Nascar career is over.

    I still think a mid-tier Indy team may take a chance on him..........

    I still think that Dinger deserves a second chance somewhere. Probably won't be in Nascar though.

    As long as he tests clean from here on in....

    I agree with mike he is done. After his DUI a few years back and now this. Can't see any owners trying to see an average driver to sponsors

    Dinger tells Marty Smith that he tested positive for prescription Drug ADDERALL

    which can be very addictive

    it was GOOD interview

    although it was also strange, he said he "lost who he was" and a few other odd things

    claimed he only took it 1 time, yet said things that made it sound very different and like he had some problems with the pressure of CUP driver.and all that comes with it...didnt do anything that would help or hurt imo

    its a must watch though

    It is a bit tough to take 100% seriously when he starts out by saying he took a supplement once only. What sort of buddy would sabotage you like that?

    Think that interview left me caring a little less whether he makes it back or not really.

    EXACTLY opti.....

    thats the lamest thing ive ever heard..."it was only 1 time mom and dad"...he comes off as a total liar

    but then goes on to say how hes forgot who he was and what he stands for???

    and makes no sense why a "friend" would put a prescrition drug in a energy drink....its not like adderall comes in supplements!!

    come on

    NASCAR has reinstated driver Aaron Fike upon his successful completion of NASCAR’s Substance Abuse Policy Road to Recovery Program. Fike had been indefinitely suspended from NASCAR July 11, 2007 for actions detrimental to stock car racing.



    Is Aaron Fike somehow related to Barney Fike????

    That's a huge vote of confidence if true.

    yeah that wont happen, talking of replacing those 3 i agree

    hes just sayin those things so kid gets a chance somewhere because he likes him and wants him to get behind a wheel somewhere

    -1500 he never sees any top 3 nascar series...maybe slightest hope for truck race, but i dont even see that...no sponsor wants him

    It will be tough to look better than Smith in the #88.

    Although all he has to do is bring the car back in one piece, and not get parked, to look better than Kurt did in that car
