OMG, the Next Episode of My Soap Opera Is On: "Days of Our NASCAR"

So, by now we have all heard about NASCAR vs Jeremy Mayfield. If you haven’t, then there is obviously something wrong with you and you live under a rock.

Anybody who writes anything about it usually just gives one side of the story, not both. So, people can be easily misled by things they read on one article and then something they read on another article.

Maybe, just maybe, if both sides of the story were read at once, then people would realize that this whole thing is pretty much a stand-off. From what evidence both sides have it could go either way, and none of us know the absolute truth we can just speculate.

So, here goes both sides of the story with a little opinion thrown in there because everybody has one. Oh, one more thing just to throw out there, has anybody else noticed that anything written on NASCAR.com is sided with NASCAR? There is literally not one good thing said about Mayfield, from what I’ve read.

It all started May 9, 2009. Jeremy was suspended from a positive drug test which we now know to be as meth. He claimed Adderall and Calritin were to blame. Adderall is easily understood to be a name brand amphetamine, and Claritin to contain is known to contain pseudoephedrine.

Okay, so test results come back. The person sees on the results that amphetamine and pseudoephedrine were in Mayfield's system. Adderall is commonly abused, and pseudoephedrine is used to make meth.

So the person that examines the drug test sees this and first instincts lead his mind to think meth. This is all of course speculation by me, but this is a possibility.

So, when Dr. Black questioned Jeremy and Jeremy told him that he took Adderall, Dr. Black said he highly doubted that a man of Jeremy’s age would need to take such a drug. We should all know what happens after this the lawsuit, injunction granted, choice words by both sides.

Now, to more recent things, July 6, 2009. This is where most of the two-sided stuff comes in, so pay attention.

We’ll start with NASCAR's side. This is when NASCAR decided to have Jeremy take a second test with and the specimen to be sent to AEGIS Corp. The results came back, and it showed positive for meth. The news spread like a wildfire. I couldn’t even watch any type of news without hearing about it.

I had just about lost my faith in Jeremy until I got home and actually had access to a computer, and watched the 20 minute interview he did for Fox.
