I'm glad a a federal judge got right what NASCAR seems recklessly unaware of, that taking Claritan D, which contains antihistamines will result in a false positive for methamphetimines. That is a conclusion supported by every ounce of data you can find searching the internet. A monkey with a typewriter at NASCAR could have pointed this out.
Did any of his crew notice him riding the crystal meth train to oblivion? Did they have anecdotal evidence like a family member or friend say, "Bless his heart he's a good man but when he powders his nose he'd steal your TV set for another bump of the devil's dandruff..."
Why has NASCAR been so recalcitrant in understanding this? If this had been Dale Jr., Smoke, or Jimmie, NASCAR wouldn't have batted an eye and swept it under the rug, but since Mayfield is in that pesky class of underfunded/unsponsored drivers NASCAR decided damn the consequences--full speed ahead, let's kill a fly with a Hydrogen bomb.
I'm not advocating junkies hurtling around a track ringed by spectators at 200mph, but a cogent, thoughtful examination of such an aberrant test result might have better served NASCAR purposes and sure as hell spared Mayfield the professional embarrassment.
Now if Mayfield finds a ride and wins at Daytona I suspect "Crack" might join Smoke and Fireball in the pantheon of NASCAR greats...

Ed,
evilquacks101This story is just about impossible to believe. Jermey Mayfield could be a high profile Meth Head? A rich Meth Head couldn't last very long............BTW why would anyone with money choose Meth? Isn't that stuff more of a Trailer Park thing?
Politcs in NASCAR? NASCAR is just full of left turns anyway......Yuk Yuk!
