Las Vegas’ Spencer Gallagher was suspended by NASCAR Wednesday for violating its substance abuse problem. It happened three days after Gallagher posted his first Xfinity Series victory, at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. The 28-year-old Las Vegan has agreed to participate in NASCAR’s Road to Recovery Program. If he is cleared to race in 2018, he will not receive a waiver to compete in the Xfinity playoffs, despite winning last weekend. I would like to say that I am sorry to all of the GMS organization for my actions, especially my team and team owner (father Maury Gallagher), who have worked so hard this year and have put faith in me. I also want to apologize to NASCAR, Chevrolet and my fans for letting them down. I have not upheld the behavior that is expected of me.
