TORONTO (AP) ? Roger Penske considers his NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger's suspension for a failed drug test disappointing, but will await the results of a second test before reaching any conclusions.
Penske says it wouldn't be fair to Allmendinger to make any further comments, and adds he supports NASCAR's drug-testing policy.
Penske spoke at his team's pits shortly after warmups concluded at the Honda Indy Toronto on Sunday morning. He has three cars in the afternoon's race, and arrived in Toronto on Saturday night.
NASCAR announced it had temporarily suspended Allmendinger on Saturday, 90 minutes before its race at Daytona International Speedway. The driver has 72 hours to request his "B'' sample be tested.
Penske Racing scrambled at the last minute to get Sam Hornish Jr. to replace Allmendinger.
