    Listening again, Mike nailed it." When he went independent, the dominos started to fall quickly." True, go back and look at how much they F'D with Robby Gordon when he went independent. 🤔

      Right on. I recall a race at Bristol when Robby's car wouldn't start for qualifying, and had no choice but to withdraw. This was the first year for EFI. Dodge only had 3 or 4 cars in the field by this point, and the McLaren group went running for cover with no comment. There's no way foul play wasn't involved there.

    You know, I came into this with an open mind. I remember all this going down with JM and honestly thought he probably did it if Nascar's testing policy says he did. Then, as time went on, I got a little more skeptical. I've got family on my wife's side that has dealt with meth over and over. One thing I will say, the recidivism rate for meth is extremely high, something like 96% meaning only 4% of people ever get off it which is why I think it's our biggest threat as a society in terms of drug use. If JM was really using meth, there would've been other signs and just physical appearance changes that go along with meth use. I'm not talking about meth mouth necessarily, but they just don't look healthy and you can tell there's something off about them. JM never gave that impression off and for all intents and purposes, looks the same today as he did then just a little more years. He doesn't talk like someone who's been on meth and certainly doesn't look the part.
    My problem with the whole thing was what he said about having little baggies in his safe for his coins, those are called coin sleeves and completely different than baggies. Overall, the whole Red Dawn on his property just doesn't sit well with me nor his explanation of why it happened.
    I guess you could say that I'm no more convinced that he did do it or that he didn't do it than I was. His story is far fetched but believable in a way. I will say he either the most stubborn man to ever walk this earth and admit his guilt or he's 100% telling the truth. Your name and reputation is all you really have on this earth and if I was accused of something I didn't do, I'd probably be just as hard headed as JM is about the whole thing.
    The true hero in this story is his wife for sticking by him which also leads me to believe that he just might be telling the truth. If he really was using meth, I can't imagine his wife sitting idly by and letting everything they've accumulated together be taken from her.

NASCAR knee jerk reacted to the media pressure to implement a drug testing system. instead of spending the time researching into the companies/services available to them they immediately went with the cheapest option. as much as i want to blame Brian, a lot of the blame rests on the people around him that were more worried about getting a promotion or bonus then actually doing the right thing for the drivers, sport, and fans. and no i'm not going to defend Mayfield either, whether or not he had a drug problem doesn't excuse him for the positions he put himself in to get to this point.

    I noticed these two Mayfield videos may be Dale's largest viewed on this channel. People want to know why Mayfield took on NASCAR where most who tested positive chose to do the steps then get back to racing (i.e. AJ Almendinger, Spencer Gallagher, etc.). NASCAR made an example out of him fighting back (David vs Golliath). Mike is right, lots of wrongs on both sides.

      NASCAR is a scripted business, much like “Pro”Wrestling. I am baffled that anyone watches NASCAR, especially after corruption like this is found. Sure, no one is innocent here. However NASCAR is a powerful organization that is willing to scalp fans on ticket prices, enforce false morality (drug testing), and hammer anyone who questions the brand. The difference between Mayfield and NASCAR is that NASCAR has power. I have never watched a full NASCAR race and read a lot after stumbling on this interview. I will never watch NASCAR after reading about this and the organization.

    Always a great podcast , always liked Mayfield too .

I really believe if Dale didn't have anything at all to do with nascar , he would say whatever he really wanted to say ... There's no way to be 110% sure exactly what happened to Mayfield, or what he did , but I can appreciate him coming on the show and telling his side , and hopefully he can build a career that he enjoyes in life ...

    Really enjoyed the Mayfield podcast. One of my favorites. But we all need to come to grips with the reality that Dale Jr, in his position as a brand ambassador for NBC, can't paint Nascar in a bad way. He has to hedge here concerning his opinion of Mayfield and a possible failed drug test. No way can he say that he believes Nascar went out of their way to bury Mayfield.

Like they said JM pissed a lot of people off in the sport. Jeremy very well could’ve tested positive;for the reasons he stated? Possibly. Either way it gave them the ammo they needed to punish him.

    As a retired police officer my department had drug testing but it was random and when you were tested they sent you too three different companies for testing.
    If one came back positive they would rely on the other two. If two came back positive you were taken off the road and re-tested the day of the finding and given a polygraph test. You were also given the chance for concealing.
    If the new testing showed negative as well as the polygraph you were put back on duty.
    They were aware of false positive.

    I think that Jeremy Mayfgield and Carl Long are two perfect examples of what happens when NASCAR stops being comfortable with your situation, and they work hard to find a way to "correct" the situation. Carl Long was absolute, utter, and completely screwed over by NASCAR in the engine deal, something that a major "connected" team would have been told quietly to just pull the engine and replace. NASCAR was not happy at all with the situation of back marker teams making a living off the system, and made their minds up. The difference betwen Long and Mayfield in the end is that Mayfield systematically went through and burned every bridge possible, and let himself with no real way back. Carl Long has managed to get back somewhat into NASCARs good book, although it's not written in, more like a post it note attached. NASCAR may play the family friendly card to the public, but you don't have to go far to find a nasty, petty, and morally inbred bunch who will extract pain at every turn.

    I don't believe Nascar was acting solely on the direct advice of the Doctor. Its certainly possible, that both Nascar and the Doctor, were both working together, to rid, Nascar of Jeremy Mayfield. And also that others were afoot not only planning, but working too do the same.

    I now believe Jeremy 100% did not use methamphetamines' and here's why:
    1: Jeremy declared on his yearly medical he was taking prescribed Adderall.
    2: Jeremy has video evidence of him buying Claritin D
    3: Adderall is an amphetamine and will cause a positive test.
    This was done before any kind of test so this isn't a story he came up with later.
    4: Jeremy took dozens of tests from one of the most trusted drug testing labs in the world and came back negative. He did this dozens of times during this entire saga.
    5: He and his attorney's specifically asked for the threshold to be set to zero, and he was still negative.
    These revelations really side the whole thing with Jeremy.
    As for the raid, he gives a self serving statement no doubt. He'd also been unemployed and was trying to make a living and probably hanging our some dirtballs. But when the discovery comes back and it's Nascar providing information and then it's used in the upcoming appeal - that's a lot of evidence this is a set-up. And now consider all those charges ended up going away.
    Give Jeremy a poly and a drug test. Jeremy was a mid pack guy with probably one of the most clutch wins of all time and he's been gone for 13 years yet millions of people are tuning in. That's 100x more than even go to races anymore.

    When NASCAR went on Nasdaq the downfall started. I'd love to be a fly on the wall if Big Bill could come back and see the mess that's been made of his dream venture. I listened to my first race on an old RCA radio in the neighbor"s barn when I was 6 yrs old. Tracks have thousands of seats covered with banners that used to be sold with folks in the seats. The first thing they used to tell you when the race started was the paid attendance. When was the last time you heard that? Meanwhile, the announcers try to make us believe that the sport is growing when they can't fill a Bristol night race for crying out loud. Covering thousands of seats and then only selling half of those remaining doesn't look like growth to me. You can really tell the crowd is small when all the cameras make sure they only capture the first few rows of seats.......Here's the fun part.....coming back from a commercial break the blimp shows the overhead view and low and behold it's half full. The other funny one is the in-car cameras that show how many folks are there. Big money has taken the sport I have loved all my life (65 yrs.) and made it barely watchable. I love Dalr Jr. and all he was accomplished in his life and I understand the politics he has to play to appease NASCAR and the sponsors. I just wish things weren't that way... Thanks to Dale and the crew for the enjoyment these pod casts be to me.

    It would also be interesting to look into the almost forgotten case of Kevin Grubb. I think for fans like me, who follow the racing but don't really get into the off-track personality stuff, Mayfield getting caught up in all this was a big surprise because, just going by looks, he seemed like such a clean cut guy. Also, thinking of him as a Penske driver, Roger Penske, in picking his drivers, always seemed very careful of image, thinking of Rick Mears or Al Unser (senior and junior) or Rusty Wallace, so you figured if he got Penske's approval he had to be all right. (Of course, it turned out Al Unser Jr., had his own substance abuse problems, so you learn you can't go by image.)
    In deciding who to believe, I tend to give Mayfield the benefit of the doubt, not so much because of Jeremy, but because I've long looked at NASCAR as being run by a bunch of gangsters and criminals. A southern Mafia. They always make me think of the movie "The Phenix City Story". They used to like to play this up with stories about bootleggers and moonshiners, like it was a cute thing, but outside the cuteness, those were violent people who'd come after you if you messed with them. They weren't characters from a Snuffy Smith cartoon.

    Say what you will about Mayfield but for me entire life I was a Rusty Wallace fan. The race was in town that weekend and Rusty was signing autographs at local dealership. I couldn’t believe it that my hero and favorite driver was in my small town signing autographs. My mother dropped me off and I stood in line for hours to get my hero’s autograph. They cut off the line behind us and there were just 3-4 of us left in line. He then got up, left and flew away in a helicopter leaving the 3-4 of us who were told we’d get to meet him and get an autograph standing there with broken hearts. As an adult, I somewhat get it and his time is money but as a kid who was a few steps from meeting their hero, I was devastated. I left without a driver to support having been blown off by Rusty.
    At the fall race that same year, Jeremy Mayfield was in town signing autographs at a small rent to own type of place in my small town. I go up and wait in line and got to meet him. He took a picture with me, signed an autograph and made jokes with me. I left a Jeremy Mayfield fan. He left a great impression on me and seemed happy and honored to have this random kid as a fan.

He turned NASCAR from a fun family friendly sport into a corrupt money hungry corporate mess. I have never watched a race since and now have no idea who the drivers or teams are.

    Looking back, Jeremy drove for Dodge. At that time, Dodge was dominating NHRA. There was a local speed shop that built the motors for them. Supposedly it got broken into and someone destroyed all the motors. Shortly after, 2 drivers tested positive for cocaine. Their careers are over and so is the speed shop. Coincidence?

    One thing to keep in the forefront of your mind when thinking about Jeremy Mayfield, or anyone for that matter who deals with addiction of any kind, is that drugs affect the brain. We are humans with survivalist instincts at the end of the day. The brain is transformed by drugs to think that the drugs are necessary for survival. So when we ask how someone could throw away their entire cup career for a drug, it is quite easy to see how from my point of view. Jeremy, IF he is an addict, is no different than 100,000,000 other addicts who struggle with decision making day to day. They have their upbringing which tells them to act a certain way, and then their frontal cortex is telling them to act a different way. This isn't a black and white, yes or no, make a decision or don't deal. Prayers for Jeremy Mayfield and anyone else out there struggling with someone the rest of us can't see.

    Great topic! As the man that was on the cover of a local newspaper, "Mountaintop Man facing 240 years in State prison", and read the contents of my Federal sealed indictment before I saw the Federal Courthouse, I am familiar with how things get out of control. Without any more information I can assure you that the thief got pinched and to get out of it, he threw Jeremy under the bus. Once a big name was thrown in the mix, law enforcement saw an opportunity to enhance their careers and the prosecutor saw potential for his career also, now to pile on as fast and as hard as possible. On the other side, you're either clean or dirty, a little bit or a lot means nothing. The science guy couldn't be impartial with a service to provide and headlines to help his popularity and pocketbook. It's all about getting cooperation and careers, not protecting the public. Ask Tim Allen how many of his friends he set up to do less then 2 years for kilos of Cocaine{trafficking weight} into an International Airport. I read his book and interviewed a friend and got 2 different stories. And myself, just a little over 6 years and no cooperation showed me that I passed the test. Keep up the good work jr.

Then you can't contact his office because they don't accept collect calls from the county jail and he's overseas with the reserves for months during Desert Storm. I'm not eligible for a bail reduction hearing because the prosecutor will get mad. Four years in, the prosecutor comes to the State Prison to threaten me with more charges. Released twice and driven around and brought back because of a paperwork error I never saw. Truthfully, I don't question the system since I got to see how it really works.

    Keeping in mind NASCAR was then and is now a dictatorship I think it is possible he didn't get a true fair shake when it came to the drug usage issue. Having said that, hearing his interview (Part 1) he reminded me of some of the young people that are in trouble with the law and try their best to tell a story in a way that their wrong doing is minimized and the wrong doing of others is highlighted. In other words you get part of the story but not all of the story. That was just my impression.

    Dale Jr. should undoubtedly be running NASCAR. I wasn't a huge fan of his as a driver, but since he's retired he's become the steady, stable voice of NASCAR. His talent transcends driving whether he's being an analyst, a catalyst for change or even just a fan of NASCAR. He's without a doubt the most important NASCAR figure within the sport and his insight and optimism is par to none.
