MOORESVILLE, N.C.--
NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger has been arrested for drunk driving.
Police in Mooresville, N.C., say Allmendinger was pulled over early Thursday and failed a field sobriety test.
A spokesman for Richard Petty Motorsports says the team was not ready to comment on the arrest. Allmendinger drives the No. 44 for the team.
He's a major factor in RPM's long-range plans, and team officials told The Associated Press that Allmendinger was going to be moved into Petty's famed No. 43 next season. Best Buy is expected to sponsor the car.
It's not clear how his arrest may affect that relationship. Petty routinely shunned alcohol sponsorship, and refused to allow his teams to participate in NASCAR's second-tier series when it was sponsored by Busch.
