When a person makes his living driving a car gets arrested for driving drunk, what should the penalty be?  Richard Petty Motorsports driver AJ Allmendinger was caught while driving drunk after spending the night out.  This, just hours after being named driver of the famed #43 race car.

“I made an error in judgment last night for which I take full responsibility.  I went out to dinner and I had a couple of drinks. I honestly felt fine but I obviously should have erred more on the side of caution, particularly given what I do for a living.”

Well, duh? 

As it turns out, despite the fact that his driver’s license has been suspended for 30 days, a driver’s license is not needed to race cars in NASCAR.  He should be fine.
