Press conference in just a couple of minutes. Sorenson and Mayfield are two names that keep popping up.


On a side note, for a hefty amount of cash Scott Speed and Red Bull have bought their way into Joe Nemechek's unsponsored ride for tonight's race.

It indeed has been Jeremy Mayfield.

 

[doozer]

And so is his team.

NASCAR.COM - Mayfield, two crewman suspended for drug use - May 9, 2009

 

[doozer]

his team was done in Daytona. it's a miracle he's gotten sponsorship to make it this far.

 

[rbroyles]

"He is suspended as an owner and a driver," Hunter said. "His team could be operated by somebody else, but Jeremy will not be allowed to participate."

Anyone got an extra million or two lying around?

 

[**ORANGEBLOOD**]

Whats the entry fee for Charlotte?

 

[SyxxSynse]

Does suspended indefinately mean suspended for good?

Mayfield doesn't seem to me like someone that would take the bad kind of drugs. Do you think it was prescription drugs or was he really doing the naughty drugs?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Mayfield says that it was confusion with some prescription drugs that he didn't get okay'd by Nascar. He will be having a talk with them very soon.

So, was he sharing with his crew members???

 

[Sabanocchio]

The crew members were from other teams.

I would be shocked if Travis Kvapil didn't get a call at this point. It appears the team will continue running with Billy Stavola calling the shots. If what Mayfield says is true, then this suspension won't last too long.
