Regardless of the outcome in this case I'd venture to guess that Jeremy's goose is cooked as far as NASCAR goes. Whether he wins or loses in the end assuming there's an end somewhere, NASCAR can drag this case out until Jeremy has no more money left to fight. As my husband once told me about playing poker, "The guy with the most money wins.".
It gets better....and not for Jeremy. :eek:
NASCAR files countersuit against Mayfield
Quote:
Speaking at Pocono Raceway, NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the countersuit was filed against Mayfield for willfully violating NASCAR’s substance abuse policy, breach of contract, and defrauding NASCAR and its competitors of earnings.
"NASCAR’s counter claim states Mayfield knowingly participated in NASCAR competition using a combination of drugs in violation of the substance abuse policy and in doing so violated his contracts with NASCAR and the standards of care he owed fellow drivers and spectators," Poston said.
"NASCAR’s substance abuse policy – one of the toughest in sports – is in place to protect the competitors, spectators and the integrity of the sport."
NASCAR’s suit claims Mayfield’s admission to the use of another drug (Adderall-XR) without informing NASCAR – and his use of the drug at what NASCAR deemed unsafe levels – constituted another violation of the substance abuse policy.
That violation would be in addition to the as-yet unnamed illegal drug which showed up in his Richmond test. The name of the illegal drug was redacted throughout the court filings.
If he's banned from NASCAR, he can go to IRL.
Like Mark said:
Stick a fork in Jeremy Mayfield, he's done. They have him by the huevos and have only just begun to squeeze.
