A crew member for Jeremy Mayfield's team has been suspended indefinitely for violating NASCAR's new substance abuse policy.
Paul Chodora failed a mandatory test Feb. 11 at Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR said Thursday. He's the first person punished under a policy that went into effect this season.
NASCAR required all crew members to be tested before the start of the season, but because Mayfield's team was formed in January, Chodora was not tested until activities were under way for last weekend's season-opener.
NASCAR did not reveal what Chodora did for Mayfield's team.
