Jeremy Mayfield situation brings questions to NASCAR's zero tolerance drug policy
Has Jeremy Mayfield taken down the "king" that is NASCAR?
READ MORE:
I'm not a fan of Jeremy Mayfield and I've been very clear about that, but along comes Jenna Fryer with a totally new perspective on the story.

I think Jenna is one of the most knowledgeable and unbiased NASCAR reporters out there, by far.  She is able to look at a story from all perspectives and analyze the situation completely.

I have to admit, she has presented the situation from a different point of view, and it's a little scary. And unfortunately, it has caused confusion among the ranks.  Mark Martin says,  “Either Jeremy or NASCAR is wrong, and I don’t know which one, but whichever one is wrong is really hurting the other.”

Jeremy could be back on the track this week, but for the timing of the Judge's decision.   He couldn't get sponsorship or an alternate ride together in time. 

NASCAR has no plans to appeal, as of the writing of the article, but that could change. 

Has David taken down Goliath?  Only time will tell.

Let's say for argument sake that Mayfield didnt test positive for meth, but instead tested positive because he mixed his ADD meds with a double dosage of Claritin....a fact that Mayfield has admitted.  Why would Nascar take it to the extreme, accuse Mayfield of being a meth head and basically blackball him out of the sport?  Mayfield's a part time driver who's best years are behind him and he struggles to make and/or finish races.  It would make no sense to make an example of Mayfield in that way

And of course, as soon as this story is published, ten minutes later Brian France comes out defending NASCAR's drug policy, saying NASCAR should be able to suspend a driver for a positive test.

It's interesting.  Martin is right though. Someone is wrong, and whoever is wrong, someone is getting hurt.
