"If the public were to ask that question, NASCAR's reaction would be to start testing people," he pointed out, "They've always had that sort of style of management, if you will. Once a complaint gets loud enough, they sort of take reaction to it. I wouldn't have a problem with random drug testing if it's important to the integrity of the sport. That's what's important to me."
Tony Stewart claimed that 'Aaron coming out and saying that is an indication that we need to do a better job than what we are currently doing', while Jeff Gordon, who was not in favour of mandatory drug testing, admitted that there needed to be more of a deterrent.
"I've never been randomly tested, and just to do it every once in a while might not be a bad idea," he conceded, "It probably needs to happen from time to time just to make sure."
Burton, meanwhile, felt that there should have been regular testing introduced after Fike's arrest in 2007.
"There's too much at stake for this sport, too much at stake for the drivers, the racetrack, the crew members on pit road," he stressed.
