Update on Mayfield!
I know that it has been awhile since I have given you an update on Jeremy Mayfield, but nothing entirely new has been happening until now. By my understanding, NASCAR submitted Mayfield to another drug test, that Mayfield basically ignored and made excuses for why he didn’t make it and such. The only problem is that he had a few different stories and so did his attorneys!
At this point I think that they need to leave him indefinitely suspended from NASCAR due to this whole issue. Also, Mayfield has stated before that he does not have enough money to return to the sport if his suspension was lifted. Whether or not that is true I have no idea, but I do know that the legal battle that he is in right now is costing him a pretty penny!
I just think that people are tired of hearing all the drama that this has caused within NASCAR! The reason that the drug policy got stricter was actually due to the drivers voting on it. The drivers are the one who wanted the drug policy to be stricter to protect them out on the track. I think that the strict drug policy is a thing that definitely needs to be in place since the drivers are driving at speeds up to 200 MPH, and there is no way that anyone under any kind of influence should EVER be allowed on the track, let alone allowed back to the track.
Let me know what you think!

Hey, this whole thing is pretty crazy, I definitely agree that drugs would be such a terrible thing for any drivers to be on, especially when driving. It just seems so selfish to put so many people in danger, not to mention it is completely irresponsible and not logical in the first place. Anyways, good post(:
