Racing a car he had never driven on a track he’d never seen, Jeremy Mayfield still upheld the honor of Winston Cup drivers Tuesday night. Mayfield passed Grand National series star Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the first night of CMS’ weekly Summer Shootout Series. Mayfield and Earnhardt faced each other in convertible stock cars and raced on the speedway’s 1/4-mile flat infield oval track. Neither driver had any experience on the track or in the cars.(remember when Randy LaJoie tested these cars last fall). See the story at That’s Racin’.(6-10-98)
