Interesting that I'm commenter #18 and so far none of the conspiracy crowd has shown up. Maybe they're beginning to see the light. I agree that this was an attention grab.

This guy had tallent and could of been a shinning star in the NASCAR sky. From what I heard,there was no ill intent on his part, he was polite, curtious, kept it short and aknowledge Brian France's statement correctly. The only person that sounde4d nervous durring that cfall was B. France, he never stopped studdering and repeating himself....I found that bizare to say the least.<br /><br />All that being said, Mayfield has a long hard road ahead of him if he wants to come back to NASCAR and drive and I hope he makes it but you know what....He might not even need NASCAR once he gets Brian France's blessings, that blessing alone would be enough to help Mayfield get a ride in another series, like ARCA or ALMS let's say?!?!!? Anyhoo....Good luck Jeremy and I hope you come out on the other end better than you came in !!!Nascar3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03706608895862478650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-22364605511141485122013-01-09T18:27:21.021-05:002013-01-09T18:27:21.021-05:00It's awfully late in the game for this.

Nothing in his statements indicates he admits that. He still strikes me as a typical junkie trying to game the system for his benefit.<br /><br />Which is a crying shame and such a waste of talent and experience.
