LOL, I read that in the paper this morning. :D
Me thinks Jeremy ought to quit using the Meth, and start making and selling the stuff, he needs the dough. Good lord I could buy a very nice house for what he owes Diehl. Hope Gearagos is doing this for the publicity, because he wont be ahead of the game with what Jeremy will owe him.
I believe one of the charateristics of a meth head is someone who never admits fault, and never admits they are in trouble even when it is plain they are. If this isnt evidence that the drug test was right, nothing else will add to it.
Also people who are innocent "never admits fault, If this isnt evidence that the drug test was wrong, nothing else will add to it."Quote:

Showing up at Charlotte as a spectator before the All Star race and acting like he was surprised the media would come out to where he was watching in the infield was bizarre, and he KNEW NASCAR didn't want him on the grounds and could ban him under the positive test. People wrongfully charged don't create a circus right from the word go, and stiff their really good lawyer for an ambulance chaser. Not to mention pick fights with a white trash mother-in-law. The circus that is Jeremy Mayfield has methhead written all over it....Quote:

Mayfield says NASCAR’s conduct was intentional and reckless: Attorneys for suspended driver Jeremy Mayfield say NASCAR is trying to ignore issues raised by him and is attempting to distort Mayfield's claims in an effort to avoid responsibility for its actions. Mayfield's legal team filed the response late Monday to NASCAR's request that U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen rule in favor of the sanctioning body based on the pleadings already held and without the continuation of an investigation by the attorneys and possibly a trial. Mayfield's filing argues that he has shown enough evidence to bring these claims:
• In response to NASCAR's assertion that he has waived his right to sue because of waivers that are part of the NASCAR-driver agreement, Mayfield stated that those releases don't hold up because this is a case where NASCAR was grossly negligent in conducting its drug-testing policy.
• In its defamation claim, Mayfield disputed the NASCAR assertion that sanctioning body Chairman Brian France had no reason to doubt the test results so his comments when suspending Mayfield cannot be considered defamation. Mayfield alleges that France and Black should have known that the combination of Adderall and Claritin-D could result in a false positive for methamphetamine use.
• NASCAR stated in its request that Mayfield is not an employee but an independent contractor and therefore cannot be considered to having been discriminated against for having ADHD. Mayfield stated in the filing Monday that he can be considered an employee in this situation because NASCAR retained the right to control and detail his activities on the race track, had promotional rights to his name, owned the broadcast rights, required where logos were placed and specified media obligations.
• Addressing the charge of unfair and deceptive trade practices, Mayfield argued the fact that there is no definitive list of drugs banned by NASCAR as among the reasons its policies are unfair.
Both sides get to file responses one more time before the judge considers the motion to dismiss Mayfield's case.(SceneDaily)(12-8-2009)
NASCAR-Mayfield case to continue: A U.S. District Court judge has turned down NASCAR’s request to halt the pre-trial discovery phase in a lawsuit brought against the sanctioning body by suspended driver Jeremy Mayfield. NASCAR had asked for the suspension of the investigative phase of the case until a judge can rule on a NASCAR motion for a judgment based on pleadings already submitted. The decision, issued Monday by U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen, means that depositions and production of documents will not be delayed because of the NASCAR request. The judge still needs to rule on the motion for judgment itself. In another ruling issued Monday, the judge set the date for a deposition of NASCAR Chairman Brian France for Jan. 19. The judge also ruled as moot requests by NASCAR and France’s ex-wife Megan France, that they not be forced to produce documents under seal in litigation between her and Brian because Mayfield’s attorneys indicated they would not seek those documents. He did grant a motion stipulating that in Megan France’s deposition, she cannot be asked about the documents in that lawsuit or about the divorce agreement (SceneDaily).

Man...Mayfield is truly out to lunch.
Hmmm - more like off this planet.Quote:
