Kenneth Luna, a crew member for the R3 Motorsports team in the Nationwide Series, has been indefinitely suspended from NASCAR for violating the NASCAR substance-abuse policy, the sanctioning body announced Thursday. Luna is a gas man/fuel runner for the team and has various shop duties.
“This is an unfortunate instance and we hate to see something like this happen to Kenneth and our team,” said R3 Motorsports owner Robert Richardson Sr. “We fully support and stand side by side with NASCAR’s substance-violation policies and will continue to follow their guidelines in this area. This isolated incident will be dealt with and handled by NASCAR and our race team.
“Our job now is to move forward and have a good race this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.”
