NASCAR asks court to put Mayfield back on suspension
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR wants a federal judge to reverse his ruling and keep driver Jeremy Mayfield off the track.
NASCAR filed the motion Monday, asking U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen to reinstate Mayfield’s ban. The driver was suspended May 9 after failing a random drug test, and NASCAR said he tested positive for methamphetamine.
The latest twist comes after Mullen’s decision last week to grant an injunction clearing Mayfield to compete. Mullen said the chance of a false positive on his drug test was "quite substantial."
