Mayfield wins injunction

Let's see... Dale Earnhardt passes out in his car on pit lane and it's no biggie... NASCAR lets an 82 year old man race at Sonoma last Saturday, and everyone thinks it's great... a clearly brain damaged Steve Park races regularly in the NASCAR Camping World east series, and it's a non-issue. A guy with no prior drug history tests positive under tenuous circumstances, and people are wanting to build a bonfire under him.
 
Legaly NASCAR has to let him try to race and quilf. If not their will be an unfair business pratice law suilt.

I hope he gets on the track the weekend.




The key here is getting ON the track. He may be able to get to, and in the track but getting on the track will be up to the NASCAR inspectors. The inspectors can make him tear the entire car apart if they want and he would never make it through inspection. The last thing NASCAR wants is him on the track.

Thought he laid off all his employees and closed up shop? Going to be pretty tough to get back on the track soon I'd think, plus who in their right mind would work for him?

I agree Eagle. I think Olds just likes to be mad about stupid stuff. I've only been posting here for about a month, and in that short time I don't think he's posted anything except bile. Even going so far as to express a certain level of hatered to others on this board who don't have the same opinion as him.

I can understand being upset about some of the decisions NASCAR has made, but if he's so hateful about it that he ends every post with "F U Brian France" then why does he still stay upto date on current events? Seems counter-intuitive to me.

Anyway, back on topic: I doubt this ruling is going to stand. The samples have been sent away to an independant lab, and if those test positive for meth as well, Mayfield will be in a lot of trouble. Including lying before a judge.

All NASCAR has to do is prove that a driver on meth poses a risk to other drivers (which should be very easy to prove), and the suspension will stand at least until the appeal process.

Ok tough guy, when have I shown hate to any poster on this board? Give me one example. I don't use big city words like "counter-intuitive" so you'll have to speak to me on my level if you want me to understand.
Well if i'm mad about stupid stuff then I guess we'll all stupid for wasting time posting about stupid stuff on this board.
Get over yourself and stop calling me out for supporting something called INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
PS. Its a beautiful sunny day and I LOVE LIFE.
PSS Kisses and Hugs to my pal Brian France...there does that make you happy.

How mature.

You've obviously proven that you're not capable of holding an intelligent conversation with someone of a differing opinion, without resorting to childish behavior.

My response is thus:

Once again, the AP said that both tests were performed by the same lab. So who is right? 7/2/09

Can anyone confirm?

I've been reading conflicting stories. Some say the tests were done by the same lab, and others said it was two different labs.
 
It's really not that hard to understand people. The original tests were carried out at Lab #A on both samples. A test was carried out at Lab #B on both samples this past week. The tests from both labs, on both samples, came back positive.

Had to look it up.. Here is the definition. Well if the shoe fits!!!

coun·ter·in·tu·i·tive (kountr-n-t-tv, -ty-)

Contrary to what intuition or common sense would indicate: "Scientists made clear what may at first seem counterintuitive, that the capacity to be pleasant toward a fellow creature is ... hard work" (Natalie Angier).

His attorneys argue NASCAR's procedures are in violation of federal workplace guidelines because Aegis tested both the "A" and "B" samples.

Here is the entire article: http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/cup/news/story?id=4288038

As both sides get set to go to court tomorrow, NASCAR has indicated that they also sent Jeremy Mayfield's urine sampe to an independent Drug testing facility to verify the results obtained by Aegis. The result obtained verified the presence of a "blacked out" or banned substance.

He's talking about the 'federal standard' guidelines. He is saying that after the A sample came back positive that they should have sent the B sample out to an independent lab for testing. NASCAR was not going by the 'federal standard'. Nor are they or anyone else required to. Both A & B samples were tested by the original testing facility that NASCAR hired. Both A & B samples were then tested again this past week at an independent lab. Both labs came to the exact same conclusions. I posted the info earlier about that. So, yes he's correct in what he was talking about but he wasn't talking about the testing this week. :beerbang:
