#19-Jeremy Mayfield, one of the veterans in the garage, said hes unfazed by all the Silly Season chatter, even rumors about his status with Evernham Motorsports. If I was a younger driver and had never been through it, it would be pretty tough, but Ive been through it before, he said. I dont really pay attention to it anymore. I just do whats best and do whats right. I stay focused and do the best we can as a team and get better every week. Whatever happens then happens, and I know Ive done all I can do. Right now Ive got a contract with Ray (Evernham) through this year and next year and hopefully two more years after that. Thats what my intentions are, to finish this deal out and do the best we can. I know a lot of stuff is going on right now in the rumors about different drivers but hopefully were not one of them.(Speed Channel)
