That Was Fast: A.J. Almendinger Reinstated

From NASCAR.Com: NASCAR has reinstated driver AJ Allmendinger after successful completion of the sanctioning body's Substance Abuse Policy Road to Recovery program, NASCAR announced Tuesday.
Allmendinger was suspended indefinitely from NASCAR competition after failing a drug test administered June 29 at Kentucky Speedway.
Allmendinger was suspended temporarily July 7 when the "A" sample of his urine specimen tested positive for what his representatives subsequently said was amphetamine. The suspension became indefinite on July 24, after Allmendinger's "B" sample confirmed the positive testhttp://www.nascar.com/news/120918/nascar-reinstates-allmendinger/index.html
This makes me believe that Allmendinger had bad luck.  He took a pill on a 1 time basis and was unfortunate enough to be tested that weekend.
Now, the question is if he will be able to get a full time driving job somewhere.  he has the talent but will a team and sponsor take a risk on him?  Maybe AA could be a sponsor?
