NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Aaron Fike was arrested in an amusement park parking lot after authorities found a substance believed to be heroin in his sport utility vehicle, police said.

Mason police said Fike, 24, and his fiancee, Cassandra Davidson, were arrested Saturday afternoon on charges of possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia. Bond hadn't been set and both remained in Warren County Jail late Sunday.
Police officers at Kings Island amusement park in suburban Cincinnati called Mason police after noticing suspicious activity in Fike's Toyota Sequoia, Mason police said in a release.
Fike drives the No. 1 Toyota Tundra for Red Horse Racing in the Craftsman Truck Series. He is eighth in points with 1487, 566 behind series leader Mike Skinner.
"We are working with NASCAR to obtain further information on the incident and will release more information as the facts become available to us," team owner and general manager Mike DeLoach said in a statement.
Mason police are investigating, and drug analysis results from the Miami Valley Regional Crime Laboratory are pending, police said.

I sure hope NASCAR continues to take the high road on this type of situation. To many other major sports are wallowing in these troubles. I guess first it needs to be determined the stuff was actually his/hers/theirs. Innocent until proven guilty.

Will most likely get what Shane Heimel got, if it's proven.

I for one am not against that. Shane was actually given a second chance if I recall and sadly he failed again.

This is sad. This kid hails from a town not far from me. But I guess I shouldn't be suprised. The whole town has a bad reputation. Druggies, molesters, skinhead/racists. Even the cops get in trouble with the law.

Yeah, Shane really screwed the pooch on that one. What a DA

Local news stations are reporting that he was scheduled to race the night he was arrested, if it is found to be his, there's a possibility he's been racing with heroin in his system!

I'm glad they do this. But I think they should be gone for good.

I think what it does is give them one more chance to straighten their lives out. Shane Hmiel was given the same chance and sadly blew it. Punishment should be rehabilitative if at all possible. I'm sure the percentages for total recovery are slim but none the less the opportunity should be given once anyway.

I agree. NA$CAR should not take this at all lightly, but I believe everybody should get a second chance. He'll either make the most of it or screw it up.

I heard Fike went to court today. All the talk has been about the stuff found in his truck and NASCAR suspending him. What I haven't heard anyone say is whether NASCAR actually has tested him.

That does make one wonder if they have tested him... but you can bet if they haven't they will as soon as his punishment is handed out... provided he isn't put in prison or is let off the hook. He'll be under intense scrutiny

If convicted he should be history. Till then - innocent until. If you are a governing body and you discriminate based solely on arrest and initial charges, it may well cost you more than the arrested/charged regardless of the ultimate outcome.
