Team owner wants to field car for suspended NASCAR driver Mayfield

[HoneyBadger]

Oy.

If suspended NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield can avoid jail time, he could have a job back behind the wheel of a racecar later this year.

ARCA team owner Roger Carter said Tuesday that he wants to put the embattled Mayfield in one of his cars.

This won"t happen.

Maybe he will be the first racecar driver to live in his racecar.

This won"t happen.

I certainly hope not. There's enough young racecar drivers out there that hasn't had the chance that are so much more deserving. Mayfield has had his chance and he blew it. After he did that he did nothing to show NASCAR that he wanted another chance. That's one person I think the sport can live without. ARCA needs to separate themselves from that situation. Oh he's a good guy...good guys don't do what he did and good guys can admit the mistakes they make. When Shane Hmiel was suspended he turned it around and submitted several drug tests a week to NASCAR to show them he wanted it.

Well now Nascar will have to buy ARCA so he can't race.

The guy is a speed freak, so what else can he do?

Well now Nascar will have to buy ARCA so he can't race.

NASCAR has a de-facto way of blocking it since many of ARCA's races are on ISC owned tracks.

Thank heaven Nascar is a dictatorship and doesn't have to put up with someone bringing Mayfield back in.

 

[BobbyFord]

Mayfield has over-stayed his welcome and needs to go far, far away.

Think the property is 6397 Hudson Chapel Rd. Catawba , NC,28609...saw a pic at one of the real estate websites but now I can't find it.

It comes with a little dirt track (or 2) in the backyard.

The ARCA ride could possibly be in doubt.....

Jeremy Mayfield indicted by Iredell Co. grand jury


MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield was indicted by a grand jury in Iredell County on Wednesday for several larcenies dating back to 2010.

Mayfield is charged with five counts of felonious breaking and entering of tractor-trailers and one count of felony larceny. He is also charged with two counts of felony breaking and entering and felony larceny from a building.

Mayfield was also indicted in February by a Catawba County Superior Court after allegedly stealing more than $1,000 worth of goods from three companies and storing the stolen items at his home.

Mayfield, 42, may lose that home in Newton later this month as well. The Associated Press reported on April 3 foreclosure documents filed in Catawba County show the Mayfield and his wife owe Carolina Farm Credit more than $3 million for loans borrowed in 2006.

The former NASCAR driver appeared in court earlier this month on five felony charges of methamphetamine possession as well.

He was indefinitely suspended from NASCAR after failing a drug test in May 2009.

From here.

It's official - a 1st-generation IPhone can go longer between charges than Jeremy Mayfield.
