Should Jeremy Mayfield be allowed to compete?

May be...

  • yes,he is a good driver and no harm to others...I work in a lab and alot of times we get false positves
  • Yeah.
    His test gave a false positive. And even drugs like Advil can cause a positive drug test.
    He is not a danger to anyone.
    NA$CAR is just what I typed. Money hungry tools who don't give a damn about the little guy and the small teams.

    Also he has the make the race before he is out their with 42 others. 43 cars are pretty much never on the track at the same time during practice.
  • YES
  • Of course, I mean it doesn't really matter when was the last time Jeremy won a race! He doesn't look like a meth user and as it was said abovr for some reason Bill does not like Jeremy
  • lol no he was on meth and tested positve lol he needs to lay off the drugs
  • if he's drug free and not a danger to the other drivers then yes he should be aloud to
  • He was not actually found not guilty, the judge simply took exception to the lack of an independent lab to retest the samples. I say take the leftover portion of the samples to another lab and rerun them. A sample taken now would prove exactly nothing. Obviously, if you're planning to take a drug test, you're going to avoid the drugs. So, use the samples that failed previously. Possibly do a hair test. That would suit everyone. If the new independent lab tests provide the result that he was actually drug-free, then he's free to try to find a ride. But he needs to prove that it was indeed a false positive. The drivers trust the guys next to them not to be consuming drugs and/or alcohol that will be in their system while they are competing. So far all he has done is found fault with the system without proving it was an inaccurate result.
  • Yes, if he is drug free.

    I think this whole fiasco is karma. Jeremy had something like this coming to him. I bet he wishes he could go back and maybe treat Roger Penske, Ray Evernham and others a little differently.
  • Nope he already messed up!
  • It ain't about Jeremy being allowed to drive anymore.. It's about NASCAR having the right to set criteria for the drivers to meet, before they can get on the track..
  • It's ridiculous ! Of course he should, NASCAR won't allow Mayfield to take a sample from the test to an independent lab. NASCAR used their own private lab. He is being railroaded by Brian France.
  • Yes Nascar is trying to railroad him!!
  • he is, but no sponsors want him driving their car.
  • He was found not guilty. So yes, he should be allowed to compete.
  • Sure, he could drive for anyone other than himself, its up to him to accept what is going on and convince NASCAR and the other drivers he is drug-free. Even if he is not allowed to race he should at least go around and talk to his fellow racers and competitors about what is going on. NASCAR wants to reinstate the suspension which I have no problem with. Jeremy Mayfield has gone from being the nest great hosthot to just about nothing and he's got to recover himself first and let other drivers give him a chance to redeem himself. No, its not gonna happen quickly for Jeremy but if he has the desire to get back to being a full-time competitor in the series and compete for wins again, he has to figure out what got him to racing in the first place.my bidding
