Jeremy Mayfield tried to fight his way back into NASCAR after being suspended for violating the sport’s substance abuse policy. But his legal battle ultimately failed and, three years later, Mayfield remains suspended. So when Mayfield heard that suspended driver AJ Allmendinger would enter the sport’s Road to Recovery program instead of fighting NASCAR, he understood why. ‘That’s his only move,’ Mayfield, 43, said in a phone interview Wednesday. ‘He was in a different place in his career than I was at. I was to the point where I was tired I wasn ‘t going to sit there and be a puppet no more. He has to be. & He’s got to go through the Road to Recovery. For what? The guy is not a drughead, and everybody ought to know that he’s not on drugs now.’(see full post and many more quotes at the Sporting News)(7-26-2012)
