DUI's?
Aaron Fike busted. (http://www.indystar.com/print/articles/7/030628-5007-037.html)
Infiniti Pro Series driver Aaron Fike is sitting out this weekend's event after being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol last week near his home in Galesburg, Ill.
Fike, 22, also will miss Sunday's U.S. Auto Club midget race in Stockton, Calif., according to his father, Don Fike, who issued the suspension.
"He made a mistake and he needs to learn from it," Don Fike said. "Now we've got to see how he comes back from it."
Fike, who won last year's Pro Series race in Joliet, Ill., was replaced in the Hemelgarn/Johnson Racing car by former Toyota Atlantics race winner Tony Ave.
Ave qualified fifth among the 15 drivers for today's race despite crashing in practice. Panther Racing's Mark Taylor, the winner of the Homestead race, won the pole at 149.91 mph.
