According to NASCAR.com the suspension was reinstated today. They also say that the test Jeremy provided outside of NASCAR's testing lab was done in a less than stringent manner that many sports would not allow.

Despite his lip flapping about some major sponsor, yadda, yadda, Jeremy is still over. He sounds like a guy who's on something other than Claritin. Remember The Rule of Holes, Methfield. You spiked yourself.

"Georgia-based team owner John Carter confirmed Friday he has acquired the assets of Jeremy Mayfield's Sprint Cup operation in what he called "a package deal."
Carter's operation recently announced plans to have Terry Labonte and Boris Said to drive the No. 08 for the rest of the season, beginning with this weekend's Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. Tony Furr was brought in to oversee the team, and he suggested to Carter to reach out to Mayfield, embroiled in litigation with NASCAR over a pair of failed drug tests."
I have to admit, this big sponsorship deal Mayfield says is 80% along on sounds like delusions of grandeur. Who'd want to touch this until the case has been decided?
Chap..that is the kind of delusions Meth addicts have.Quote:

NASCAR has done a lot of capricious things in their time, but this drug testing program isn't one of them. It is one of the most strict and yet fair programs in sport, and since it is the only sport that contends with the spectre of death if someone screws up at 190mph, that is fitting.
NASCAR didn't need nor want to have this bad PR from all the conspiracy is under every rock crowd. I am sure they wish like hell Mayfield never tested positive but he did, and they have to put this away with Mayfield out of racing and into treatment. The out of racing part they have done, Jeremy needs to hit rock bottom and do the treatment.
It sounds like something a meth user would say.Quote:

NASCAR disputed the sworn testimony Mayfield provided to U.S. District Court last week, including the assertion that a July 6 request for a second drug test went to his voicemail at 1:18 p.m. He said he didn't get the message until about 40 minutes later, making it difficult for him to meet the two-hour deadline to report for testing.
NASCAR provided a transcript of the actual conversation between Mayfield and Regina Sweeney, an employee of Aegis Sciences Corp., which runs NASCAR's drug-testing program. NASCAR said it would provide the recording upon request.
"I'm calling on behalf of NASCAR who has requested that you take a drug test today within the next two hours ... and I was going to help find you a location that you could go to based upon where you are right now," Sweeney said in the transcript.
"Right, well I'm gonna have to - let me talk to my attorney first. ... So, and I'll get back with you," Mayfield is quoted as replying.
According to Mayfield's affidavit from last week, he was in a meeting and did not receive the message until 2 p.m. and it was 2:44 p.m. when he was finally told what labortatory to go to - making it impossible for him to meet the testing deadline.

Quote:
NASCAR has a “significant number” of witnesses who will testify that suspended driver Jeremy Mayfield used methamphetamines, a NASCAR official said Monday.
The official said those witnesses would testify to recent and long-term use.
The official's remarks followed a court filing Monday by NASCAR attorneys in U.S. District Court. The filing asked U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen to lift an injunction he granted this month so Mayfield could return to racing.
Mayfield was suspended May 9 after a positive test for what NASCAR later identified as meth.
An appeals court last week put on hold Mullen's injunction, but Monday's filing is part of a larger lawsuit between NASCAR and Mayfield.
The NASCAR official declined to further characterize the witnesses to Mayfield's meth use, but in Monday's court filing, NASCAR attorneys said they were reluctant to testify after Mayfield angrily responded to similar testimony from his stepmother, Lisa Mayfield.
If I am NASCAR, I let the drug tests stand by themselves. You don't need testimony from people if the test is showing the guy as loaded.
Actually you do.Quote:

Put a fork in this guy, hes done.
Oh he's definitely done. He spiked himself. What a dumbazz.
