Mayfield meth suspension on hold for now; team not present at Daytona
A federal judge ruled in Jeremy Mayfield’s favor Wednesday, granting the suspended driver a temporary injunction uplifting his suspension from NASCAR. Mayfield was seeking a restraining order against NASCAR to overturn the suspension and NASCAR delayed a legal decision on the matter, by having the case moved to a federal court.
In the U.S. District Court, senior Judge Graham Mullen said that the case has done more to harm Mayfield than it has NASCAR.

Sneak Preview of NASCAR(r) Drivers Starring in New Coke Zero TV Ads - Spots Debut This Weekend
The infamous Coca-Cola “brand managers” have returned to the race track, unleashing their latest attempt to sabotage Coke Zero and the NASCAR® drivers who promote the brand’s REAL Coke taste and zero calories. After humorously failing in previous commercials to solicit help from the drivers in keeping Coke Zero from taking the checkered flag and further encroaching on Coca-Cola’s turf, the brand managers have switched tactics by offering to “help out” this time.

Mayfield back to Sprint Cup Series racing (for now)
Jeremy Mayfield found a friend in U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen and he’ll get his shot at returning to Sprint Cup Series racing this weekend in Daytona. Judge Mullen granted Mayfield’s motion of lifting his suspension from NASCAR after according to NASCAR, Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamines.
What does this mean?
Mayfield will be allowed to race while his case plays out in federal court. NASCAR could appeal the decision as early as tomorrow afternoon to try and stop Mayfield from racing this weekend. But according to NASCAR officials, while the organization is disappointed in today’s judgment they do not expect to appeal the decision.
NASCAR lawyer Helen Maher said in court today, “If he’s (Mayfield) allowed to race again while this litigation is pending, it’s possible he’ll end up hurting or killing someone.”
However, Judge Mullen had a different thought. “The harm to Mayfield substantially outweighs harm to NASCAR,” said the Judge.
Mayfield’s plan is to go to Daytona and practice with the Sprint Cup Series tomorrow afternoon.

TV Times - Logano Won, But Is He Still Too Green for Cup Racing?
|
Even though Cup newcomer Middletown, CT driver Joey Logano won the rain shortened Lenox Tool 301 Sprint Cup race at NHMS in Loudon, NH, it still may not silent his critics that he’s “too green” to be racing in the top tier NASCAR series. It’s because he hasn’t won a race that has gone the full distance so far. |
