LAS VEGAS – NASCAR Nationwide series driver John Wes Townley was cited over the weekend for underage possession of alcohol while in Las Vegas.

His team owner, Richard Childress, said in a statement late Saturday the matter would be handled internally.

How NASCAR will handle it – if at all – remains a mystery.

Late Saturday, NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston offered a statement:

“NASCAR is aware of the situation. We have met with the driver and addressed the matter with him directly.”

No other details were provided.

Townley, who turns 21 – legal drinking age – on Dec. 31, was cited on Thursday by law enforcement authorities in Nevada. The Nationwide Series began on-track activities at 11 a.m. Friday local time.

“John Wes is very aware that he made a serious error in judgment. Drivers are human and make mistakes like everyone else,” Childress said.

“However, we do not condone his behavior and will be handling it as an internal matter at RCR.”
