....and anyone know if Jerry Mayfield is still around?!?! His case sure
did go hush hush.

Three Crew Members Suspended: Mike Hennessy, a crew member for the
#199 team in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Gary St. Amant, a
crew member for the #199 team in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
and Richard Henninger, a crew member for the #6 team [Roush Fenway
Racing] in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, have been indefinitely
suspended from NASCAR for violating the sanctioning body's substance
abuse policy. All three were found to have violated Sections 12-1
(actions detrimental to stock car racing) and 7-5 (violation of the
NASCAR substance abuse policy) of the 2009 NASCAR rule book.
Hennessy's violation came on Aug. 27, while Henninger's and St.
Amant's both came on Aug. 28.

Sounds like NA$CAR's lawyer's pulled a fast one on Mayfield's...

Judge denies NASCAR's request to permanently lift Jeremy Mayfield's
injunction...

U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen has denied NASCAR’s request to
permanently lift the injunction he issued July 1 that had allowed
suspended driver Jeremy Mayfield to race.

Mullen released his decision Tuesday, a decision he made on procedural
grounds because NASCAR had already filed an appeal with the U.S. Court
of Appeals, which ordered a stay on the injunction July 24 until the
appeal could be heard. A hearing on the appeal is not expected until
at least October, and Mayfield is suspended until the appeal can be
decided.

Because NASCAR had filed an appeal, Mullen said he has lost
jurisdiction as far as the injunction.

what i hate about this is that we still won't know what substances
they were suspended for, and we should. the only reason why we found
out about mayfield is because he took it to court. We should know what
these crew members are on too because they are responsible for
everyones safety too...if these guys are juicing, maybe had a little
too much to drink the night before or something that's one thing (not
that that's good either), but if they are using hard drugs, or are
stoned during races that's a big problem

just a question... why do folks feel they are entitled to know what the guys
tested positive for? really the only folks that have a "right" to know are
the sanctioning body and the person that failed the test... as much as you
feel you "should know" what they were testing positive for, it's still a
matter of privacy and none of "our" business...

Agree fully. I wonder about the sense of releasing the names of crew members
who test positive straight away too. NASCAR mentioned early on that they
offered Mayfield a rehab program with the chance to return to driving. Just
naming the team would be plenty until these guys have had that option I
think.

Why should "we"?

"We" don't have to be told shit about what happens...
"They" know, and "They" acted on it, and that is all that matters.

No, we shouldn't. If the 3 crewmen do not challenge NASCAR's
ruling, then we can safely assume they are guilty of whatever
they're charged with. If so, they deserve the privacy to deal
with whatever their problem is.

I'm pretty sure if it's just a matter of a couple too many beers
after work, we'll hear about it from the guys involved.
