When 48 was back on the track, Chad told Jimmie " I guess you can pick where you can line up". The 48 was physically ahead of the 1st place car, but was actually (being scored) the last (or second last) car on the lead lap. Would 48 have had a choice to be the "lead" car or the end of the lead lap cars? When 48 pitted under green (early part of race) the yellow came out while they were on pit road.

Remember when Tony Stewart wouldn't do his post race interview after he won at the Glen in 2004 or 2005 (I can't remember which one it was)? It wasn't because he was mad at someone. It did have something to do with the #2 though. Heeeeelarious. #5 Bob

I’ll tell you what happens. Remember when Tony Stewart wouldn’t do his post race interview after he won at the Glen in 2004 or 2005 (I can’t remember which one it was)? It wasn’t because he was mad at someone. It did have something to do with the #2 though. Heeeeelarious.

I guess the thing that really causes me problems now are with all the designer drugs available it is hard to make and maintain a "List" of tested for drugs. Too many high profile sports figures all look for that new added 1/10 second, foot on the ball or speed on the track. There are too many lawyers/agents along with the ACLU and other groups that try to find excuses for their actions. We make choices and should learn to live with them good or bad.

All drug testing programs have privacy clauses that forbid the release of the substance found. As for it being Claritin D, it's possible and depends on the amount. Even a "normal" dose carries with it the normal warning about it affecting your motor responses and can cause drowsiness. As Mayfield claims it was taken along with with a script by his doctor and made to noted symptoms much worse. Needless to say it a large topic. “I have doubts we will ever know, but NASCAR surprises me sometimes.”
