Mayfield has suspension lifted by a federal judge

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A judge issued a temporary injunction on Wednesday that lifted Jeremy Mayfield's drug suspension, saying the NASCAR driver is free to race at Daytona this weekend.

U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen concluded the "likelihood of a false positive in this case is quite substantial." The decision came after NASCAR's lawyers portrayed Mayfield as a danger to the sport after he tested positive for methamphetamines on May 1. He was suspended indefinitely eight days later.

Wow.  It will be interesting to see how J. Gordon, Johnson and R. Gordon will back their words up.  You know they are going to race this weekend, but this is what they said about Mayfield in an affidavit to NASCAR. 

5. I make my livelihood by racing in NASCAR events. Racing is my life and career. However I am not willing to put my life at risk driving a racecar on a NASCAR track with drivers testing positive for drugs that diminish their capacity to drive a racecar. I support NASCAR's Substance Abuse Policy and depend on NASCAR to prohibit drivers who don't abide by the policy from racing.

6. If drivers are on the track in violation of NASCAR's Substance Abuse Policy, it presents serious questions as to whether or not it makes sense for me to put my life at risk.

Sounds to me that NASCAR'S facts are weak. Those drivers should have reserved their opinion until the facts form ALL involved parties were out. But then most drivers are afraid to speak out against NASCAR.
