NASCAR driver Fike and team member suspended

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Aaron Fike and his fiancée, Cassandra Davidson, a crew member, were suspended indefinitely Wednesday from NASCAR competition after being arrested over the weekend on drug charges. NASCAR issued the suspensions under the rule prohibiting actions detrimental to stock car racing.

The two were arrested Saturday in the parking lot of Kings Island amusement park north of Cincinnati after security officers observed suspicious activity in Fike's sport utility vehicle and found syringes and a brown substance believed to be heroin, police said.

Both were charged with drug abuse, a felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor. They had their initial court appearance Tuesday in Mason, Ohio, Municipal Court.
