I am completely against drug use especially Meth and race car driving this man needs intervention now. This drug is deadly so to is Nascar,terrible mix.
To Jeremy Mayfield; get help. I'm thankful that no one got hurt on or around the track as a result of your irresponsible actions.
To Na$car and Dr. Black; OK, you got it right. Now take what you can learn from this chapter and improve the procedures.
Interesting reading:

Now, can we get back to racing?
Good grief, to meth or not to meth, who cares anymore? I'm not a Judge, but Mayfield is done, that's all that matters here. He was already just a bit player, so now he is most likely gone forever, big deal.
I am not the greatest fan of rocket_car but I sure agree with, "Now, can we get back to racing?" The hell with Mayfield!!
For Nascar to have any credibility this guy needs to be banned for life.
There is a simple solution to all this, have him pee in a cup in court,have it tested by a court appointed lab.If he s still dirty,kick him out.If it comes back clean,than sounds as if nascar is hideing something?Nascar has more to loose than Mayfeild.
mayfield probably will have a part in next years BREAKING BAD on hbo
