Evernham extends Mayfield's contract


DOVER, Del. (AP) -- Jeremy Mayfield will be driving for Evernham Motorsports for the foreseeable future. The 36-year-old driver has signed a multiyear contract with the Dodge team.


"Year after year, he has shown that he can be a constant candidate to win races and make the Chase for the Nextel Cup," Ray Evernham said Saturday at Dover International Speedway. "He has been a great team player for Evernham Motorsports."


The driver from Owensboro, Ky., has four career victories, nine poles and 46 top-five finishes in 357 starts on NASCAR's elite circuit. He got his first victory for Evernham last September in Richmond, Va., to qualify for the final 10-race, 10-driver title competition.


"Ray has made a commitment to make this a championship team," Mayfield said. "I have no doubt in the potential of this team."


Terms of the contract weren't revealed.

this seems weird to me....he isn't that great of a driver and alot of drivers will be moving around this year...why not try to get a better one? unless of course, Ray is scared of losing him to the competition without getting a decent replacement.

And some people at the start of the season were saying he'd probably be the first driver to be released from his ride.
