NASCAR Driver AJ Allmendinger may be in a spot of trouble. Allmendinger was arrested, very early Thursday morning for Driving Under the Influence in Mooresville, North Carolina. No word yet if he was racing or chasing (sorry just had to make that joke). He was released from custody later in the morning.
The story from Statesville.com IS RIGHT HERE

Allmendinger, who drives the number 44 car for Richard Petty Motorsports may be in some serious trouble here. Petty is not known for tolerating alcohol sponsorships on his cars and generally frowns upon it. Supposedly, Allmendinger was in line to be promoted to the teams 43 car for the 2010 season, no word if those plans will be changing. RPM also, at least at this point has made a comment.
All this story does is give us an excuse to show the First Big One at Talladega from the first race this season... Allmendinger was involved...

PM UPDATE: From NASCAR their own selves...
AJ Allmendinger, driver for the No. 44 team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, has been placed on probation until Dec. 31, 2009.
Allmendinger has violated Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing) of the 2009 NASCAR rule book.
That is all... AJ should be in the 44 car this weekend at Talladega...
