    A NASCAR driver from Canyon Country was suspended from competition indefinitely Tuesday for violating the organization's substance abuse policy.
    Tyler Walker has been suspended for "actions detrimental to stock car racing," according to a statement released by NASCAR.
    Walker competed in the first six Craftsman Truck Series races this season for Bill Davis Racing, based out of North Carolina. Walker, however, missed the most recent event on Saturday in Mansfield, Ohio.
    In March, Walker received his first top 10 finish in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck series by finishing eighth at a race in Martinsville, Va., winning more than $11,000.
    "We agree with the vigilance that NASCAR is taking in this instance," Bill Davis, the team owner for Walker, said in a statement. "We also have a no tolerance substance abuse policy at Bill Davis Racing and will take the appropriate action concerning Tyler's future status with our company."
    The Walker family declined to comment Thursday.
    Walker, who drove Toyota Tundra truck No. 36, had recently gained a rookie partner as his co-driver. The new driver, Ryan Matthews, drove the truck in a race on Saturday, finishing 18th.
    "Tyler has shown he can drive," Davis had said in a statement on May 22. "We know that Toyota equipment is among the best in the garage. Having said that, what better way is there to evaluate young talent and see which one can rise to the occasion. The sky is the limit for these young drivers and the No. 36 Toyota Tundra team. We look forward to their successes."

    I met him at California SW 2 years ago when he was running in the Busch series. At that time he was in the Great Clips car. A pretty cool guy and good for the sport. Hope he gets his arse in gear.
