Start gate PED??

What is being taken on the gate? Remember when Stewart took a pill before a SX start, and I just saw some footage of Hunter L doing some sort of inhalant before a start. What is the currant stimulant these guys are taking? I’m sure most dudes remember to hit it before they are on TV but it seems like sometimes they forget and that looks kinda weird. Inquiring minds want to know. Not saying it’s illegal or whatever

Total guess on my part but maybe some kind of decongestant to open their airways up?

Smelling salts, supposedly helps with breathing and focus.

Smelling salts maybe, or something to open up your air way.

Whatever it is, it’s not a good look. Jett was on camera snorting stuff before the main too.

Not a good look, but only to the uninformed viewer. If people assume what they're seeing is illegal or, "not good" then perhaps they should look into the topic before jumping to conclusions.

OR...you could use this thread as an opportunity to elucidate the uninformed with your knowledge and experience on the topic?

Looked like smelling salts to me, pretty common in powerlifting.

It looked like it was in a chap stick container. Smelling salts are a crackable one time sticks are they not?

I need this before I go wash the motorhome.

Hard to believe there’s people out there who don’t know what smelling salts are. Also wild people think he’s taking bumps of it lol

I've noticed Hunter, Jett, and I think Webb?  As someone else had mentioned, it looked similar in size and shape to a chap-stick tube.  I was curious what it it was as well, but assumed it was maybe a nasal decongestant.

It's a matter of record that Stewart was taking Adderall (AMA suspension), all though I'm not sure that's what he was taking on the line.

Even if he did it takes time for it to “kick in”. It doesn’t start working immediately

I just went back and looked for a video and saw a closer view, and you're right it does look more like a chapstick, maybe something to open the nasal passages (like Ricky alludes to). They sell bottles of smelling salts (not the type you crack/one time use) but they are far too potent to rub around in one's nostrils.

Jett has been on camera doing it on the starting gate at least twice this season. I've seen him doing it at two different races but I could've missed a couple also

Yup this is exactly what jett had was going to post this as well. There are a few versions.

The others were sniffing smelling salts. Happens in every major sport. Ive used them when trying to PR a lift. TBH doesnt do shit for me but whatever.

Yes adderall is inhaled through your nasal passage…

It sure looks really shady when he's rubbing it around his nose like Charlie Sheen...

Are you saying it is actually shady, or just saying it looks shady to create drama?

What do you think is more likely - the fastest guy and series points leader taking some sort of banned substance on TV while at the starting gate, or he’s using a completely normal and approved thing like smelling salts or nasal vapour?
