Over the last couple of years, there has been quite a bit of discussion on this website about Jeremy Mayfield’s situation. The failed NASCAR drug tests and the subsequent lawsuits have been the topic of more than a few TNI blog posts. And those posts attracted dozens of reader comments with some being good, some [...]

A Season of Lawsuits
December 10th, 2010
Journo I’ve written here before about my affection for lawsuits – and so long as your not involved, who doesn’t? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t enjoy the prolonged nature of them, or all the ill-will they no doubt create – and as I said, I don’t want to be involved. But the information that they [...]
Ask The Insiders Wednesday #86
August 4th, 2010
T.C. Road racing returns this weekend as the Cup and NNS cars head up to Watkins Glen. While they are turning left and right, and doing backwards pit stops, the truck series takes on the Nashville Superspeedway. As we work through another week, here are more reader questions and answers. If you don’t know what this post [...]
The End Is Near
November 9th, 2009
T.C. And then there were two. Phoenix and Homestead are the only two remaining races before we put the 2009 season in the books. And I’ve got to say, I’m a little bummed. This time of year is always a little bitter sweet for me. I know there are a ton of guys that look forward [...]
How Do Guys Keep Failing These Drug Tests?
September 2nd, 2009
T.C. Maybe I’m giving people too much credit here, but I continue to be shocked by the fact that NASCAR has again busted more crew members with the new drug testing. In case you missed it, they nabbed three more guys recently, including former ASA and short track ace Gary St. Amant. I just don’t understand how people, [...]
Do You Remember Why You Love NASCAR?
July 16th, 2009
Journo Do you remember why you love racing? I want you to stop for a minute and think about it. For me, the love is deep-seeded. From an early age at the local short tracks to now when I head through the tunnel at any track, the feeling I get is indescribable. I love the smell [...]
Mayfield Tests Positive A Second Time for Meth
July 15th, 2009
T.C. In case you haven’t heard, Jeremy Mayfield has again tested positive for methamphetamines. Jenna Fryer from the Associated Press broke the story about 30 minutes ago. See it here. After we wrote about Mayfield on two separate occasions (here and here), some pretty serious discussion developed with the lines clearly drawn between commentors. What are [...]
Mayfield Case Could Set A Dangerous Precedent
July 2nd, 2009
Journo When U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen issued a temporary injunction against NASCAR’s suspension of Jeremy Mayfield yesterday I have to say I was among those who were surprised. Like many people I thought this part of the lawsuit would come and go without any major story. I was wrong. I was also surprised by [...]
Mayfield Is In It Up To His Neck
June 19th, 2009
Journo As I sat here this evening trying to decide what I was going to write about I couldn’t help but think of the almost daily bad news coming down on Jeremy Mayfield. Now I’m not going to talk about his guilt or innocence here. It is frankly irrelevant to the post. But I thought it [...]
