I think they're at like four and seven for some reason. So that's an odd time. But again, not our doing.

Yeah. But get there. It's on a Sunday. So what do you care? Get there at four. What the hell do you have to do? Right. Football season's over.

Tom Brady is done. Even if the Patriots win the Super Bowl, it'll be over by then. So get your asses down there. Never mind all of that, Jimmy, because Jesus, do we have a story today. Wow. I got to tell you, man, this is a doozy. This guy is a nut job. We've had a lot of requests for this guy and he's been on the list forever.

He's been on the radar. I try to mix it up with the sports. The sports really don't matter here because we're more about the crime and making fun of an asshole, but we do discuss the sports and I can't do two football players in a row. So I try to really space them out and stagger them.

You've got to shake up the crime, too. You don't want so much financial crime. You don't want so much financial crime. You don't want so much murder. You don't want so much mayhem. I try to mix in a murder a month. I try to have a little meth, a little craziness, a little domestic violence, a little robbery, some weird international crime. I really try to mix it up.

And I get to a point every few episodes where I'm like, okay, I've done baseball, football, basketball, boxing, MMA. Like I've done all of the main things that we do. Hockey. I've done baseball, football, basketball, boxing, MMA. Like I've done all of the main things that we do. Hockey, I've done all of these sports. And like I need a wild card. Or like I need a soccer. I need a this. I need a weird thing.

I need a rugby. Not that they're weird, whatever. But it's something different for what we do, our rotation. And oftentimes this is one of those times. So I'm like I needed something weird and I found a race car driver that I've known about, and we're going to talk about him. We're going to buzz through the racing. I'll tell you that right up front, because this story has so much insanity to it that

we do not have time for this shit. And I don't know anything about racing anyway. I'll fill you in. It's going to be terrible. Depends on the type of racing. Yeah, like NASCAR. Yeah, I'm in. Okay, I don't know shit about NASCAR. It's going to be terrible. Depends on the type of racing. Yeah, like NASCAR. Yeah, I'm in. Okay, I don't know shit about NASCAR.

To be honest with you. I mean, I said that with the utmost confidence that I should not have done. You'll screw it up, I'm sure. I know enough about it. When you hear the story, you're going to realize that there's no time for NASCAR here, really. Let's talk about Jeremy Mayfield, shall we? Jeremy Allen Mayfield is his full name. I know

you've seen lots of the tweets requesting this crazy psycho. I've seen the name, but I didn't... Sorry, guys. I just said you know NASCAR. You don't know who he is? No, no. I know. What are you doing, Jimmy? What's wrong with you? I don't know who he drove for, but I do know the name, and I have seen the

tweets, and I didn't read much into it to find out any of the story. I'll say that. I have. Let's put it that way. Well, I hope you have, because otherwise this podcast is over. Thank you very much for listening, everybody. He was a race car driver and a bit of a douchebag. There's some crime.

If you look it up, you'll find a bunch of shits. If you spend like 30 hours, you can really put together a compelling story. I did not do that this week. Wiki the shit out of you guys. I apologize. Have a good of shits. If you spend like 30 hours, we can really put together a compelling story. I did not do that this week. Wiki the shit out of you guys. I apologize. Have a good one. No, no. Wiki won't really give you the details. Really? Those fuckers whitewashed? I never fucking... Well, I know that. It's not the details of it.

It's just the outlines. Court dates and documents and shit like that. See, now we have that here. We have the details. He was born. All of this fuckery and nudnickery and everything else started way back on May 27th, 1969. Okay. In Owensboro, Kentucky, which is where he grew up. Owensboro, it sounds like a tiny, tiny town, doesn't it?

It's probably not. It sounds like, yeah. I thought it was like, oh, there's probably 300 people there. It's probably like Hazard. Right. You know what I mean? Like Hazard County. Like Duke boys are jumping over ravines and shit.

For sure. There's like 60,000 people there. Myard County. Like Duke boys are jumping over ravines and shit. For sure. There's like 60,000 people there. My Christ, that's a lot. That's a decent size small city. That's too big for our other podcast. That's too big for small town murder. Yeah, I would not do that shit. Owensboro.

That one would piss me off, too, because I'd look it up and I'd see Owensboro, Kentucky. Yes, small town. Then I'd look it up and go, fuck, goddammit, it's not small. The murder's so salacious. Oh, dammit. All right, moving on. Yeah. Moving one town over. So Jeremy Mayfield, he grows up It's not small. The murder's so salacious. Oh, damn it. All right. Moving on. Moving one town over.

So Jeremy Mayfield, he grows up in Owensboro. He is, and he would put it the same way, and so would everybody. His wife would say it later. He's just kind of like a, grows like, has a nice redneck lifestyle. Yeah. You know, he does stupid shit as a kid. Sure. He's a kid who rides, big into riding bikes, BMX bikes.

Yeah. He likes to blow shit up. Sure. He likes to do shit that normal 12-year-old kids used to do. Puts motors on a bar stool or some shit. Yeah. He drives that shit around. You know how it goes.

Yeah. Whatever. Blowing things up, too, it keeps coming up. And that's funny because we used to like to do that when I was a kid, too. Yeah, I mean. You want to blow things up when you're a kid. There was always that asshole that tried to blow up animals, too, though. No, no, no.

That's not okay. No, no, no. Like, tried to put black cats inside a cat and bite it. No, no, no. Yeah, no. That's not going to play. Or a no, no. That's not okay. Tried to put black cats inside a cat. No, no, no. That's not going to play. That's not going to play. That kid's always the one that got changed to another school in another town by like 12. Yeah, by like 16.

He wasn't even in a normal high school. He was in like the vocational high school where he only had to go to like 11 o'clock in the morning. And then he'd leave and go get some weird job that wasn't like an adult job that adults had. And he told you all the time, yeah, it's just like a high school diploma. No, it's not, dude. No, it's not, dude. That's not. I promise you it's not.

No, not at all. But Jeremy didn't quite have that. But, you know, he had parents and things like that. He just kind of, you know, he's a rural kind of, just a rural kid having a good, just a good old boy. Never mean to no harm. That's all it is. He's a Duke boy. Just picture him as Bo Duke. All right. Well, just a rural kid having a good, just a good old boy, never meaning no harm. That's all it is. He's a Duke boy. Just picture him as

Bo Duke, alright? We'll just picture that. And he's sliding across the hood. His jeans are short, but it's only because he got them from somebody else that was super tall. Did they? The Duke boys had belts. You're right. Black one, button down plaids. Yeah, you're right.

They weren't Jethro. No, the Duke boys were like rural chic back in the day. You know what I mean? They were like, that was hot shit for rural Georgia or wherever the fuck they were. Where was Hazard? That's South Carolina, I think. Was it Virginia? Is it Carolina? We've named half the states.

Never mind. Because there's a bunch of different Hazards. One of those racist ones. Georgia, maybe. Kentucky. Kentucky. It may have been Kentucky. It was Hazard, Kentucky. It is Kentucky. That's where Owensboro is, right? That's where he's from hazards. One of those racist ones. Georgia, maybe. Kentucky. Kentucky. It may have been Kentucky. It was hazard Kentucky.

You're right. It is Kentucky. And that's where Owensboro is, right? That's where he's from. All right. So never mean no harm. So his Uncle Jesse brought him up right. Jesus Christ.

Thought him out of moonshine, but only when it helped the people. Right. So you understand, you have Boss Hogg. Sometimes you've got to pay rent. Roscoe P. Coltrane will be chasing you. So once in a while, you've got to jump a ravine. And no one ever taught me that as a kid. That's my problem now.

With a trail of fucking dust. And the dust cloud got into the tire well. It was amazing. With the confederate fucking anthem blaring on the background. Jesus Christ. A car that whistles Dixie. I never noticed they were rednecks when I was a small child. Ever. We've talked about that before.

Was ha... I got a question that was good i bit my time i'm just gonna say was hazard blacklist was did they have i don't recall i did not see i don't remember a black guy in that town there was not a black guy in that show with i remember they go to the bar too because daisy worked there because someone was always trying to like you know come on to daisy and diddler and the boys would have to step in and that sort of thing i think we've covered this before they have no black guys They needed a lawyer in that town. That's all they needed.

One lawyer. One lawyer in the tall town. Excuse me. Entrapment and police corruption. One Beauregard would have fixed that whole fucking town. Done, man. One lawyer. That's been my thing since the beginning.

Jeremy, though, he wants to be a BMX guy. That's what he wants to be, like a bicycle guy, which in the 70s, that was a pretty progressive thing to want to do. I want to be a BMX guy. That's what he wants to be, like a bicycle guy, which in the 70s, that was a pretty kind of a progressive thing to want to do. I want to be like a BMX rider. Yeah. That wasn't too popular. That was like a new thing. I wanted to do that too, though.

I think every boy wants to do that at some point. Probably. They want to do that or skateboard or whatever the hell. So then he goes from there to race go-karts. Yeah. And that's where a lot of these guys start, the racers. They have to drive something. He goes to the local short tracks, races go-karts. And that's where a lot of these guys start, the racers. They have to drive something. He goes to the local short tracks,

races go-karts, was all around in that area. He ends up getting a job for Sadler Brothers Racing. There's a racing team down there, and he's a fabricator. He's building cars, basically. Sadler Brothers, was he racing

cars or go-karts at this point? He's trying to race cars. He raced go karts as a kid. Now he got a job with an actual race team. He wants to be a driver, but he thinks he's got to work his way in, so he starts off as a fabricator saying, hey, I can drive,

you know, and things like that. I'll build you a car if you want, but I'd love to drive it for you. And eventually they do let him drive it. They let him give it a shot. And at age 18 in 1987, he begins driving and wins Rookie of the Year at the Kentucky Motor Speedway. That's amazing. That's pretty cool. Kentucky Motor Speedway is a three-eighth mile short track in Whitesville, Kentucky.

I bet there's Whitesville right next to Hazard. No black guys there either. How about, hey, Kentucky, go down the list of towns in your state. Anything with white in it. Anything called Whitesville or Whitestown or Whiteston. Whitesburg. Get it the fuck out.

Rename that shit. They wouldn't have Whitesburg because that would sound too Jewish. It's too Jewish, don't you think? Get that shit out. We want to let them know that there's watts here, but we don't want to sound all Jew-y about it. Nothing Jew-y. We don't want to do that now. Put a burg on.

White steam? We ain't allowing no bagel shops. No, I ain't happening here. Nah, ain't nothing like that. Sweet Christ. It has an infield figure eight crossover, this track, added in 1981. Apparently a bunch of guys started there uh daryl and michael waltrip started there uh the green brothers i don't know who they are but they got

their their start there too uh jeff david and mark green do you know who they are no idea either uh 1993 he joins the arca series okay arca you're aware of the arca series okay uh arca stands for automobile racing club of america which doesn't sound like it's – that just sounds like a club. It just sounds like a failed NASCAR driver. You send $30 a year, and they send you a pin and a pamphlet once in a while. You put it on your dashboard, on your dash mat. That's it. You're like, oh, and a sticker that you put on your window.

Hey, RCA, I got my Ford Falcon. Yeah, apparently. I got my Ford Falcon. Apparently – apparently. I got my Ford Falcon. Apparently. It's tits. They race stock cars. They always call their cars, it's tits. Yeah, I don't know what the tits.

I guess because they like tits and they like that car. It's like, what are the two things I like? Right. I like tits. They're good. I like pork a lot. And I like cars. Now, I can't compare it to pork, really, because it's a car.

No, I can't say it's the bacon. You can't say it's pretty like pork or like bacon, but what is pretty is tits. Now, I like them tits now. That car is pretty like a pair of tits. I used to go to car shows all the time when I was a kid with my monster of a stepfather, and him and his brother who was I guess my quote unquote uncle. Any car that was pink there, which there was lots of them because Mopar had the most ugly

colors ever between the blues, the greens and the pinks and the purples and the yellows. They would call every color pink, titty pink. And they said that shit in public as I'm eight like that's normal that's just something you call a car what do you think of that Titty Pink one? what are you talking about? which one?

the one right next to the dog dick red one that one yeah right there you see it Titty Pink and meanwhile there was like a light colored one and then a dark one and then you're just like

you mean the flesh colored one or the nipple? Are you talking about areola pink? Are you talking about? What about that tank colored one down there? How about that one? The most uncomfortable. I grew up so white trash that my family said shit like that in public. That's hilarious.

At car shows where people are trying to win trophies. And come on to women who just want to get a paycheck. And they're insulting your vehicle. Just pointing at a car. Yeah. Actually, this is called fuchsia. No, no, that's titty pink. That's titty pink.

You're mistaken, sir. So this Arca series, they basically race old stock cars. Once NASCAR is done with them, they kick them down to these guys. And it's like minor league stock cars, what it seems like. They're still fast as shit. Oh, still fast as fuck. They're unbelievably fast, yeah. It's just They kick them down to these guys. And it's like minor league stock cars, what it seems like. They're still fast as shit. Oh, still fast as fuck. They're unbelievably fast, yeah. It's just they kick it up a little bit.

They can't keep one forever, so they get that. They say that Arcus competitors contain a mix of both professional racers as well as hobby racers alike. Yep. In addition to younger competitors. So it's basically like the minor leagues. Yeah. Has-beens, never-wors, and possibly maybes. Right.

That's all it is. He was named Rookie of the Year there also, Jeremy was. Yep. So he can race. He's killing it. He can drive. He's got his titty pink car and he's driving. Now, this is what I mean where you can't go through all the races.

This isn't like even a boxer who has 55 fights. I can buzz through. Yeah, he fought this guy this day and he won in the second round. And then if there's an interesting fight, we'll talk about it for a minute. But the other ones, you know, 20 seconds, whatever. There's so many. In races, 93, only one race. 94, 20 races.

95, 27 races. 96, 30 races. 32, 33, 34, 32. It would be seven hours of going over every fucking race. You just chase the season and say where he finished in the season. That's all we can do, man. So if you really wanted to hear a heavy race-centric episode where we're getting to— This ain't the one.

No, this isn't the show. It's just not possible. It's crime in sports, not sports, and there sometimes are some crimes. There's always crime, and that's what we're mainly concerned with. And we do get into the sports. We really do. Well, even telling where he finished tells you enough about the season. That's the thing here.

That's the thing here. It's just too many here. I guess rank would be where he finishes here and everything. And, you know, 94, he's 37. 95, he's 31. He gets all the – in 98, he's No. 7, which is – I guess that's good. 37? Seven.

Oh, that's great. That's great. Finishing top 10 is incredible. Yeah, well, he's 13 in 97. In 98, he's good. 37? 7. Oh, that's great. That's great. Finishing top 10 is incredible. Yeah, well he's 13 in 97. 98 he's number 7. 99 he's number 11. Yeah. And in 2005 he's number 9. That's great. Which is great. And number 10 in 2004. And a lot of the other times he's in

the 30s and things like that. But makes a shitload of money. Does his thing. But we'll go through some of the stuff here. 93 he makes his cup debut. I guess it was Winston Cup then. It was Sprint Cup now. At the 93 Mellow Yellow 500. Amazing.

You can't get a more white trash event than the Mellow Yellow 500. So days of thunder. He started 30th. He finished 29th. Okay. Started 30th, finished 29th. But there's so many cars in it. That's what I mean.

He held his ground. That's pretty impressive still. He was driving the number 95 Ford Thunderbird that year. What year? This was 93. Oh, okay. 94, he says he wanted to go for NASCAR Winston Cup Rookie of the Year. Yeah.

And he signs on again to drive the Sadler Brothers car. Yep. Ends up switching in 95 switching uh uh teams yep goes to kale yarbrough's team goes to yarbrough's here uh drives a ford there number 98 yep uh finger hut sponsor oh really uh yeah the finger hut car my mom bought shit from that thing did she really yeah we had tv from finger hut interesting interesting he also drove a number two car for T.W. Taylor for a few races. His best finish that year is 95, his 19th at Rockingham.

That's not bad. That year, which isn't terrible here. 95, he's with the Yarborough team for the whole year. The Miller Genuine Draft 500, which beer and Mellow Yellow. And Fingerhut, which doesn't fit in. And driving, by the way. As an alcohol company, how are you sponsoring driving? That's ridiculous.

I feel bad for the guys who would have to drink milk when they run a race. Like, I just ran. 500 miles I just drove. I've been in the car for fucking five hours. You think I want a big chug of milk right now? Thank you, Shamrock. You know how thick my spit is right now? If I drank that, I wouldn't be able to swallow for a week. No fucking way. Thank you, Shamrock. You know how thick my spit is right now?

If I drank that, I wouldn't be able to swallow for a week. No fucking way. So, 95, he keeps going. He ends 1995 in 26th place, which I guess isn't bad. That sounds good. I'm sorry, 1996 in 26th place there. 1997, he joins the Crane Fuse Haas team. Do you know this team? Say it again? Crane Fuse Haas? No.

In 97? Who's the car that he's driving? He's the number 12 car. Okay, I don't know. See, the thing is a team can be owned by something, but then the sponsors are other things. So David Letterman owned the Pioneer Honda Red Bull car in Indy, but it didn't say David Letterman owned the Pioneer Honda Red Bull car in Indy,

but it didn't say David Letterman on the car. It was all the sponsors. Yeah, well, that's the guy who owns – that's the team that owns the car. So this is the sponsor? No, no, no. The Crane Fuse Haas is the team. Okay, so I don't know the team. I don't know.

He's on there. He had eight top tens, though. He had two fifth-place finishes, which isn't bad. That's great. And finished number 13 in points that year, as we were talking about. After the season, the team that's Cranefuse Haas, the Haas half of the team, his interests are sold to Penske. No, no, James, a third.

A third? Isn't it Cranefuse? Didn't you name three guys? No, no, no. Cranefuse Haas. Cranefuse is one guy. Oh,? Isn't it crazy? Didn't you name three guys? No, no, no. Crane Fuse Haas. Crane Fuse is one guy. Oh, that's a fucking name? Haas is another name.

Oh, Jesus. It's Crane Fuss Dash Haas. Okay. That's the team. Got it. Haas is Carl Haas. And he's like, fuck you, Crane fucking whatever the shit. Later on, Crane Dick.

Crane Fuck. Whatever your name is. Moving on. Right. Sold his shit to Penske Racing South, and he got a new car. He's on the 12 car now. He's doing that. That year also, he's featured in an Alan Jackson music video.

Get out of here. Now, I know nothing about country music at all. I despise it. Isn't this a Chattahoochee song? It's fucking terrible, especially this Alan Jackson. This is redneck shit here. I'm sorry. I know a lot of you like it. I don't this a Chattahoochee song? It's fucking terrible. Especially this Alan Jackson. This is redneck shit here. I'm sorry. I know a lot of you like it. I don't give a fuck. This isn't like Outlaw

Old School Country. Listen, Alan Jackson's almost close to it. This is no. He's great. I fucking know. No. I love Alan Jackson. God damn it. Jesus. It's fucking terrible. Which song? All of it. No, no. Which one is he in?

He's in Who's Cheating Who. Oh, that's a great song. Of course it is. Of course. I've never. Tell me, Who's Cheating Who? I've never, ever heard that in my entire life. That's actually a good one.

I like that one. It sounds just soul sapping. And whose boots are next door or something like that? I forget the words. See, once you mention boots, I'm out. Because you're just saying that to mention boots. You know what I mean? You just want to say boots and truck,

and there's like a list of like 12 words that needed to be mentioned in the song. The thing is, the ones about country, okay, the artists that I don't like are the ones that are obviously phonies, and he's not. No, he seems like a real shit kicker. I'll give him that.

That's why I like him. That's great. Fucking Jason Aldean probably sits around in Nike shorts, and you're not country. I guess not, but I'd probably get along better with him. You're probably right. He's probably got a loft in fucking Manhattan is my point. Yeah, I probably understand him when he speaks. Right.

Alan Jackson legit probably lives in Alabama, and he probably has a house in Nashville. Jesus, poor guy. That's a real shit kicker. If that wasn't enough to give him redneck fame, you know what I mean? If that wasn't enough to send his name ringing out through trailer parks throughout the land like Omar's name rings out through a Baltimore ghetto. He also does a Mountain Dew commercial that year, too. Get out of here.

Alan Jackson video and Mountain Dew commercial. That's a lifestyle, my friend. I'm sorry. That gets you. You know what I mean? Yeah. You and him. You may as well put a finger in your cousin because you're on the way.

You are Bo Duke. You are Bo Duke at that point. Yeah. Grab your cousin. Where are you banging Daisy at? 1998, he had the points lead early in the season. Yeah. Won his first career race that year.

Wins the Pocono 500. And I assume that's in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. So, Jesus, good luck there. I hope he stopped off at beautiful Mount Airy Lodge and dealt with one of those. Anybody from the East Coast, no one else knows what I'm talking about. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s. People in Oklahoma are like, fuck is James talking about? If you grew up in the 80s and 90s. People in Oklahoma are like, fuck is James talking about? If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you can look it up on YouTube.

And there's commercials that played every five seconds on like daytime reruns. That was for beautiful Mount Derry Lodge over and over and over again. And they would show this couple sitting in a heart-shaped like hot tub. Perfect. It was the saddest looking vacation for like middle-aged people who hate their partners and want to try to fucking spice it up again. Perfect. It was the saddest looking vacation for middle-aged people who hate their partners and want to try to fucking spice it up again. Perfect. We'll go there and I'll pretend you're someone else.

A hot tub. That ought to fix all our problems. We tried having a kid and that didn't work. So now a hot tub is it. She couldn't get pregnant and she couldn't support life. My sperm count's too low. So this hot tub is going to substitute a little junior. It's going to do it.

So 1998, he finishes seventh in points, like we said earlier. 1999, he finishes 11 in points, but he has 12 top 10s that year. That's incredible. He finishes in the top 10 12 times, which seems great. Can you imagine trying to be... There's a lot of cars.

I think it's 60. There's a shitload of them. It's too many. It may be more than that. I have no idea. I just know I've been to a NASCAR race before and watched that shit. It is confusing. Yeah, because it's a fucking mess. You've got to watch the tower in the center of the infield to try to watch who's in bed.

It looks like when everyone's running away in Independence Day, except in cars. Right. That's what it is. And then there's people getting lapped. There's people getting off the racetrack to go to the pits. It's really confusing. Terrible, terrible thing. But it's a lot of fun. It is, I swear. In 2000, June

20, 2000, he has a little run-in with Dale Earnhardt Sr. before he croaked. Before he murdered him, probably. At the Pocono 500, what he does is he bumps Earnhardt and fucks him up. Well, that's what Earnhardt was known for.

That's exactly what it is here. He would do this. He messed with him a lot. A little bit of payback. He said he did the Earnhardt thing to Earnhardt is what he was saying the whole time. I like it. Mayfield ends up winning the whole thing here, which they were less than a half mile from the checkered flag. Oh, shit. This is the whole thing here, which they were in the less than a half mile from the checkered flag. This is the whole thing here.

They come out of the final turn, and Mayfield drops low to the bottom of the track and taps Earnhardt's bumper. And Earnhardt had led for the previous 14 laps. Holy shit. And he spins him out. Can you imagine? Yeah, and he did that, and Mayfield slammed by him and won the race. You bet.

And then afterwards he said, quote, I never tried to wreck him. I just wanted to rattle his cage. I'm not sure I hit him. If there was contact, it wasn't enough to turn him. And I guess rattle his cage is something that Earnhardt says all the time. Oh, really? I wasn't trying to mess with anybody. I was just trying to rattle their cage.

It's like when I'm a dick to people, I say that. That's the shit that got him killed, though. Yeah, and Earnhardt wanted to murder him after this, as you might imagine. Did he chase him in the pits? I don't think he did. But I think it was only because there was not too much wind resistance on his giant push broom mustache. He couldn't get through. He couldn't run across the infield.

That's all it was. Otherwise, he would have got there. But it kept lifting him up off the ground. The wind would get under it. It was disturbing. That tiny man with that giant mustache. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, he's get under it. It was disturbing. That tiny man with that giant mustache. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, he's a weird guy. So strange looking. In 2001, he divorces

his first wife. Or 2000, I apologize. He divorces. Jeremy, yeah, not Dale. I don't know what the hell he did. He died. Dale went on to race some more and then died. So that's the end of that. We wrap up the Dale Earnhardt story. Thanks for listening to Crime and Sports. It's kind of a dick, and then he died.

Something that I see in traffic from time to time that makes me laugh hysterically is the people with, because his name was The Intimidator. That's what he had on the side of his car. I see people with that on their license plate and Dale Earnhardt, rest in peace, in memoriam shit on the back of their car. What are you doing? Yeah, like they were his cousin. He was their cousin.

Right. Who the fuck? He's on, like, redneck Mount Rushmore. Yeah, that's true. You're probably right. It's just like him, and I don't know. And Junior, too. Like, people love Junior, even though he doesn't win anymore,

and they still love him. Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies and Alan Jackson. I'm into Alan Jackson. That's what it is. I'll accept that one. And they all have a Mountain Dew in their hand. Right'm into Alan Jackson. That's what it is. I'll accept that one. And they all have a Mountain Dew in their hand. Right. All of them, which I actually like Mountain Dew,

so fuck off, everybody. That throwback's the shit. It's just interesting to see people that enthralled in a guy that's dead. It's like, I get it, it's sad, but in memoriam, is his son thanking you for memorializing his dad all over your fucking dad all over the car you drive to work, you fucking weirdo? So 2001, he has two consecutive third place finishes.

But he's released by the Penske's after the protection 1-400. He apparently pissed everybody off. The rumors are he was a dick. And he's a bit of a loud mouth and a bit of an asshole. And as we'll find out, he's got a shitload to say. Really? This guy's crazy. This is so much fun, this episode.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he drinks an awful lot. Yes. No, well, we'll find out what he does. It's not necessarily drinking. Apparently he did this on purpose because he wanted to sign a deal with Ray Everham's team, the Everham race team. He had a little feud with Rusty Wallace on his team at that point. They didn't like each other apparently. Now, at this point, things are going pretty well for him.

He's moving up in these race teams. He's winning some races. He's making a lot of money. He's getting to be kind of a known. He's trying to get up on that Mount Rushmore. You know what I mean? He's got a Mountain Dew in his hand. He's ready some races. He's making a lot of money. He's getting to be kind of a known. He's trying to get up on that Mount Rushmore. You know what I mean? He's got a Mountain Dew in his hand. He's ready to go.

He's climbing the mountain. Just needs a car. Just needs a ride. He meets a woman here. Oh, boy. He meets Shanna. Or Shanna or Shanna. It's Shanna.

You bet it is. Shanna grew up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She said her parents were huge race fans, and they used to go to Darlington, which was an hour away from her, from Myrtle Beach. She said that she was going to college when she met Jeremy. She was a sports management major at Clemson University. Oh, perfect. So she was going to school.

She wasn't going to community college. She was like going away to university and all that. Her parents were going to a race when Darlington was there that year. And they said to go with her. And she said, no, she doesn't that year. And they said to go with her. And she said, no, she doesn't like racing. And they said, it's fun. There's free beer. And she said, being a college girl.

She was in college. Yeah, no, no. Free beer. They probably had some. How the fuck is there free beer? Who knows if they had some kind of tent if her dad worked for. Maybe dad's just like, girls always get free beer. I'm off.

Girls always get free beer. Come on. Show them your titties. It's all right. Pull them out. Let's go. That's right. I didn't Show them your titties. That's all right. Pull them out. Let's go. That's right. I didn't make you female for nothing.

I don't know the situation between the two of them. I didn't make you female for nothing. So she said she's a college girl. No, he meant you're coming to show boobs to get me free beer. Yes, you're not having any. Sorry. So apparently the dad got them passes. The dad seems like he's got some connections.

They go every year. She can afford to go to Clemson, things like that. I don't know how expensive Clemson is. I can't imagine it's cheap. That's what I mean. If you know the college, it's probably steep. If you've never heard of it, maybe. And this is 2001.

It's not like it was the 70s or anything. It's going to be steep. Yeah, maybe. And this is 2001. It's not like it was the 70s or anything. It's going to be. It's stupid. Yeah, exactly. So she goes there. What they end up doing is they're getting ready for this. They have a happy hour thing there. And I guess Jeremy was there by his car.

And she said he had a helmet on. But she sees that he was waving at her, apparently, from the car with his helmet on and everything. And she said, who's waving at me? And the parents were like, well, he's clearly waving at you and not us, so why don't you wave back or whatever and see what happens? I would have been like, quit waving at my fucking daughter, pervert, even though she's 21 still. Don't fucking wave at her in front of me, asshole.

Back to the show. So they said, you know, she said, well, if he's not cute, then that's not going to be good. So she was worried about that. Oh, what a shallow woman. Oh, yeah. Well, she's a college kid. She said, you know, after this, the way she put it, that after practice, he was walking around and he came up and saw them. And she said he had the prettiest smile and the biggest blue eyes. He came up and introduced himself, and he was so sweet.

He said something so funny that I just laughed and laughed, and I just thought, what a cool guy. I don't like her. No, she's pretty down, though. I'll say that for her over the years. I'm sure she is, but here's the thing. If he wasn't handsome, Steve Buscemi has bright blue eyes, too, honey. Yeah, if Steve Buscemi got out of that car, she'd have gone back to Clemson. She'd have. Oh, yeah. She would have had no interest in him whatsoever. Steve Buscemi has bright blue eyes too, honey. Yeah. If Steve Buscemi got out of that car, she'd have gone back to Clemson.

She'd have gone back to Clemson with smoke coming off her heels from fucking running as fast as she can. She would have stole his stock car because it's faster. He was so funny. To get away. No, you mean handsome. Stop it. Yeah, exactly.

So she gave him her number and they went back and forth. I guess they talked a little bit. She wasn't around much and he was out racing all the time. She said he didn't understand what college life was like and he didn't get that. She didn't understand what racing was like. They kind of kept in touch over the phone for like a year. They didn't see that much of each other, but then it started to progress from there. And they'll end up being together, which we'll talk about for a minute. In 2002, he's still on the Everham Motorsports team. This is owned by Ray Everham. And we'll talk about that because he has some beef with him and there's some interesting words exchanged that are pretty goddamn funny. You know, I didn't realize how few teams I actually know. I can picture the car.

I can picture the sponsor. When I have the sponsor, I can almost see the number. But when you're saying names, I don't fucking know shit. That's like saying, you know, who owns the Atlanta Falcons or whatever. We know that because it's Arthur Blank. It's the Pompipo guy. He's a famous one. But if I said, you know, who owns the goddamn, I'm trying to think of a random dude.

Who owns the Tampa Bay Bucs? Who owns the Tennessee Titans? No fucking clue. No fucking clue. There you go. Right there. I think Tennessee owns them. There you go.

They're owned by the city. I have no goddamn, the whole state owns them. Right. No clue. Alan Jackson. I don't know who owns the Tampa Bay. Alan Jackson. He owns the Tampa Bay.

That was so funny. That just surprised the fuck out of me. It's Alan Jackson every time. And he just comes out every game. Who's cheating? Who? That's it. Jesus Christ.

And Mayfield spins donuts on the center of the field. Oh, my God. So he's driving the number 19 car. Okay. It's a Dodge. In his first year with them. What driving the number 19 car. Okay. It's a Dodge. In his first year with them- What year? This is 2002.

Okay, so it's an Intrepid. I think it's a Dodge Intrepid that year. That's ugly. I'm pretty sure. He had four top 10s and finished 26th in points that year. January 4th, 2003, he marries Shanna. Okay. So this isn't bad.

Things haven't gone bad yet, so he's not breaking any rules. He's getting married on the upswing this is fine you can do that uh he appears on the pyramid show as a celebrity as a celebrity remember the 25 000 pyramid with dick clark that guy that'll get you on there as a celebrity well it's it's the this isn't the backup okay okay i said remember the one with dick clark yeah this isn't the one with Dick Clark. Right. Who was the host? Regis? Worse. Way worse. Who?

Way worse. Hold on. Oh, my God. Is it Donny Osmond? You bet you're both seconds, Donny Osmond. You're goddamn right it is. Actually, Jimmy, the host is Alan Jackson. I apologize.

It's Alan Jackson. That's who the host is. He hosted it for many years. Nothing ever got done because all he did was sing. I forgot Donny Osmond hosted that fucking show. This is the reboot. I feel like they could, they was just,

we'll get whoever we can get. That guy drives a sure-fire NASCAR. Alan Jackson's actually a step up from Dick Clark. That's huge. Yeah, Alan Jackson's at least. Donny Osmond, anybody's a step up from Donny.

I don't know what he does or what his talent is. Alan Jackson would have been the greatest host ever for this edition with a fucking NASCAR driver on it. Oh, shit. Donnie Osmond sang back in the day, didn't he? Yeah, he did. Oh, God, that's terrible. A lot of sister fingering

in this episode. Crime and sports. Crime and sports. Come for the crime, stay for the sister fingering, everybody. Come on back. See us next week. Oh, sweet fuck. He's on the Pyramid Show as a celebrity. He hangs out. See us next week. Ah, sweet fuck. He's on the Pyramid Show as a celebrity. He hangs out with Donny Osmond.

Donny probably tries to convert him to Mormonism. I think he rejects it. He wins, he improves 2003. He wins the poll at the Aaron's 499. Get that extra lap in there. Ah, fuck it. 499 is all we got.

Shit. We can't get that extra lap in there. That's amazing. They're like, ah, fuck it. $4.99 is all we got. Shit. There's no... We can't fucking do it. We're late today. But he got the pole position. That's incredible. So he's starting the race in first place. He posted 12 top 10 finishes, finishing 19th total in points, which still seems pretty

solid. 19th out of everybody here. 2004, he wins again. He wins the Chevy Rock and Roll 400. Don't know where that is. I'm sure they've changed it 10 times. Yeah, probably. That moves his team into the ninth spot in the chase for the cup.

Where's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Cleveland. Maybe that's where it is. There you go. That makes sense. I'll take that. It's in Cleveland, everybody. If it's not, we don't care at all.

So please don't tweet us about it. Don't fucking care. Doesn't matter. You can say it all you want. That email's coming. It still doesn't matter. We don't care. He finishes 10th in points.

Okay. Now, he won the race that pulled them into the ninth spot for the chase for the cup. Now, for a while they said, and I don't know how true this is, but this is some racing article that then somebody copied onto Wikipedia. I found it in a racing article, then I read it on Wikipedia. I was like, God damn it, I dug deep for that. It's right in the fucking – because I don't look at Wikipedia until the end to make sure I didn't miss a major thing, a life event or something. So they called winning a race to get into the Chase Cup whatever as pulling a Jeremy Mayfield. I don't know if that's – apparently he did this more than once.

Fascinating. And this got him into the top ten? This got him into – yeah, this got him into the ninth spot in the Chase. I guess these are only ten spots or whatever. And then everybody beyond that can go fuck themselves. Top ten finishes is the ones that matter. It's like the basketball playoffs. If you're like 14th, you can eat shit.

Now, let's say he's doing well. New bride, good career, everything's going well. Can we say it now? This is grace. This is it. This is grace. Oh, boy. He still has some good times.

It's so early. He still has some good times, a little bit, but this is when cracks start to appear. This is when cracks start to appear. And then after that, the floodwaters break that wall down. And, oh, boy, are we awashed in just a sea of shit. Let's do this. That was great. You're telling me that the sewer pipes are behind the walls and they're going to break. They're not underground.

They are bursting. All right. Bursting. 2005, he wins the GFS Marketplace 400. That rolls off the tongue. And finished ninth in the standings. But in August 2006, he's released from the Everham team. And that was Penske, correct?

I'm sorry? That was the Penske-sponsored car? No, that was the Penske team. That was another one. Penske had a team, not a sponsor of a car. They were a team. They also sponsor a car. I'm sure. But they had a team, not a sponsor of a car. They were a team. They also sponsor a car. I'm sure.

But they were a team, though, too. And then he went from there. He went to the Everham team. So they release him. Everham replaces him with Bill Elliott and then Elliott Sadler. So basically they said, we need somebody with Elliott in their fucking name. First, last, we don't care. We tried a last name, Elliott.

Can we get a first name? Those are two great racers, though. Oh, they replaced him with them. So that was August 8th, 2006. He's dropped from the team. The 19 team fell out of the top 35 in points. Uh-oh. And that's what they gave the reason for his release.

But there's also more than that. Later on, even Everham admits that most of his release was because Mayfield couldn't keep his fucking mouth shut about Everham. He talked constant shit about him. Yeah, he said he was never at the track that often. Who cares? He said he didn't pay any fucking attention. Who gives a shit?

Well, he said you need to pay attention to the racing team. Yeah, but if your car's running, who gives a shit? I don't know how the dynamics of a race team work, but I'm sure the guy in charge probably, I don't know. I don't know. The CEO rarely knows what the frontline employee is doing. You know what I mean? Yeah, but I don't think this is a CEO type of guy, probably.

It's probably a little different. He's more into race cars and shit. It's still the CEO of the fucking company. Yeah. Your driver is your fucking friolator. You know what I mean? He's replaceable. I think he's saying that a general manager never watches the football games.

It's like, how the fuck does he know what's going on or who's performing well if he's never there? He's got people to tell him. But he's got a reason why here. Mayfield said that the problems stemmed from a lack of attention from Everen Hearn because, mainly due to a, quote, close personal relationship with a developmental driver, a female named Aaron Crocker. So that's what he's saying. He's like, you're too busy fucking Aaron Crocker and you don't pay attention to the team, asshole. So that's why I was saying that.

He's saying that that's all you're paying attention to and you're not paying attention to anybody else's racing. I can understand. And we're dropping in the standings and it's because of you. Get your dick in your pants and don't worry about it. Evan Hearn's like, I don't know what you're talking about. I can understand. And we're dropping in the standings and it's because of you. Get your dick in your pants and don't worry about it. Everen Hearn's like, I don't know what you're talking about. That's ridiculous. I just think that's a good You never heard of affirmative action. I'm trying to support women's rights. It's a good young driver. Yeah, blah, blah, blah.

We'll find out how that works out later on. Yeah. He said, Mayfield said that Everen Ham was not with the cup cars most weeks because of the extensive attention that he was giving Crocker and her No. 98 truck team. It's some truck team. Oh, Jesus.

He's paying attention to that because he likes this girl. He's not even paying attention to his sport that makes the money. Truck racing doesn't make that much money. No. Your NASCAR team makes the money. He ran a couple of the truck series races in 2006. He ran the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. He ran two races in that.

It seems very stupid here. It's boring. It's just not as fun. No. A truck's not as fast as a car. No. It's just the fact. 2007, he signs another contract to drive a Toyota Camry, number 36 car, with Bill Davis racing.

Then in August of 2007, it's announced that they're going to part ways at the end of the season again so he's just in and out here uh 2007 a crazy youtube video comes out of jeremy mayfield blowing shit up really it's just insane guy now he's blowing shit up it's a crazy youtube video uh basically this doesn't help that like he's like oh he's considered kind of a loose cannon and this isn't helping any. He's talking super fast, by the way. And I mean, he's talking like that. And they even say he's doing his best Hunter Thompson impersonation.

Because that's what he fucking sounds like. Have you ever heard Hunter Thompson? He's just going to mumble like this. He's doing that, but he's just talking super fast. But they're saying Hunter Thompson not for his speech, but because For what fueled it. If you've ever seen a Hunter Thompson documentary, he goes on his property, blows shit up and shoots shit, and that's just fun for him, you know? He moved in the mountains so he could blow shit up.

He's an eccentric weirdo. Yeah, exactly. So this is him doing that, setting off explosives, trying to scare someone who's shooting a gun to make them like, which is dangerous as fuck, don't do that. He explodes a gas can. Jesus. So he blows that up. And he blows up a watermelon just to get a stupid Gallagher shit in there.

Always got to have a watermelon. Yeah. This is a video that idiot 16-year-olds would make. And you'd go, Jesus Christ, Timmy, what the fuck is wrong with you? So he does that. Obviously doesn't look, oh, by the way, he attempts to eat the watermelon shards afterwards like a fucking moron. Just look how crazy I am. Right.

Unless it's soaked in rum. Fucking throw it out. Unless it's rum ham. Right. So this is fucking nuts right away. Right there I would say. That whole thing seems a little batty to be doing that shit. It's cause for alarm. It's cause for alarm. This's cause for alarm where you're like, this guy

doesn't seem like an adult. We're trusting that man with a very fast machine with other people on the track and their safety in mind. That's what I'm saying. He's like 38 years old at this point. And we get this reckless fuck behaving like a 16 year old. He's not 23, he's 38 years old.

Would you do that in your area and film it and put it on YouTube? No. Especially if you're a public figure like this? No. Jesus, nobody gives a fuck what we do, but this guy's on television every goddamn week, you know? We can do whatever we want.

And we got to pretend to have a stable fucking life. Like, that's not what you put on the internet to portray a put-together character. Well, Shanna has defense for it, though. Okay. She says, look, it's a... He has sparkling blue eyes. He's hilarious. Did you see his smile?

She says that, quote, blowing things up... Shallow bitch. Blowing things up is a tradition that dates back to his childhood. All he's ever done is blow shit up. This is what I mean. Earlier, I'm thinking he was blowing shit up. Oh, that's a wife. She said about...

She's terrific. She said, quote, it was fun for the first two or three weeks, and now he's just absolutely about to drive me crazy. He's just got so much energy built up inside him. He's definitely a little bored. That's what people say about ADD four-year-olds, five-year-olds that are home for the summer from school. The first two weeks, it was fun. We played games. We colored all the time.

But now he's about to drive me fucking crazy. He's bouncing off the walls. He's just a little guy who's got so much energy built up inside him. I'm blaming her for this. I can't wait until September. This is her job to subdue this, by the way. Fuck. Well, this poor... She has no chance.

No. Okay. Now here's where things really start to unravel. Occupy that man, lady. That's the cracks. Like I said, there's some cracks, and you can see that, that some shit's not right. Now there's some chunks breaking out. Okay.

September 5th, 2007, Terry Mayfield, Jeremy's father, dies. Oh, shit. Okay. This death is ruled a suicide. Oh, what? Two separate investigations. Okay. It's ruled a suicide.

So they have the funeral. The funeral was held September 7th at 3 p.m. at the Raymer Funeral Home in Hunterville, North Carolina, with Reverend Max Helton officiating. You talk so deep. Hey, I want to get people there. Get to Hunterville, North Carolina, damn it. Reverend Max Helton's there.

He's waiting on you. I fucking need to say more. He's next to Alan Jackson at the fucking Mount Rushmore. It's to the Earnhardts and Alan Jackson and this guy, Reverend Max Helton and Mountain Dew man, whoever that is. Just a can of Mountain Dew is up there. It's the Yahoo Mountain Dew prospector guy on the side of that guy. So his father dies.

He hires a private investigator. Okay. He doesn't think his father killed himself and he's not going to fucking take that for an answer. So is he like now a conspiracy theorist? Oh, he's got a conspiracy theory. He tells a sheriff's investigator that his stepmother, Lisa, killed his father. That's what he thinks. That's going to make a happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, this is going to be fun. Oh, wait till you see the Thanksgiving they have. And it actually happens in November, too. It's a little early for Thanksgiving. Oh, this is going to be fun. Oh, wait till you see the Thanksgiving they have. And it actually happens in November, too. It's a little early for Thanksgiving. But when she shows up, you go, all she needs is a turkey in her hand or a pie. And she is fucking, she needs a custard pie and everything's going to be fine. So she, Jeremy tells the sheriff's investigator that he believes that Lisa killed his father. He has evidence that she had an affair.

She spent large sums of money, and there should be an investigation by the police over whether his father had been murdered, is what he was saying. Now, Lisa, the stepmother, Lisa Mayfield, has repeatedly, in court documents, depositions to the press, under oath, everything she can do,

has denied any involvement with Terry Mayfield's death. Like you do. Like you would do. Steadness in a deposition that she already, she did have an affair with another man, but it was over. She ended a long time ago. Terry never found out about it. It never came up. She said that now, but after this, after Terry's dead, she says this, but

then she ends up living with the guy who she had an affair with. So she ends up going with him, which I mean, doesn't look good, doesn't look good. But then you look older people that she doesn't fucking probably know a lot of people to hook up with. She's probably devastated. Yeah. I mean, they're in their 60s for Christ's sake. That's I mean

my grandmother, racist grandma, not badass grandma, racist grandma not not badass grandma racist grandma when my grandfather died like a couple years later she just started hanging out with like one of the guys that he was friends with and they because they were both alive right that was it was like hey you're alive i'm alive too we should sit together and watch tv at night all right sit together complain about our pain i doubt they were fucking or anything but they were like hanging out and doing things man it's man, it's possible. She killed that man, by the way. My racist grandma killed a man.

I swear to Christ. She killed his brother first. She did. She was moving her stuff. She was moving from this condo to a house. And she, rather than hire a mover, she has money, too. That's the thing. She's sick in the fucking head.

Rather than hire a mover, she's so cheap it's a disease. She made her 83-year-old boyfriend and his 86-year-old brother help her fucking move. The guy's carrying a small desk thing down the stairs. His brother drops dead of a fucking heart attack right on the steps. Well, yeah. He's 86 years old. You shouldn't be having this guy help you move. And she was pissed.

She didn't even get finished with her move. Like, that's how cold-blooded she is. Sweet. She is a fucking firecracker. This happens. She didn't even get finished with her move. Like, that's how cold-blooded she is. Sweet. Yeah, this happens. She is a fucking firecracker. This happens. But, I mean, old people is what I'm getting at.

If they just go with, I know a guy, I know that person, we should, you know, talk because we're both alive still. We have shit to reminisce about, too. Yeah, we can talk about the Lawrence Welk show. And, you know, I don't know. They were both 85 goddamn years old. Lawrence Welk. So, yeah, she lived with him. I think Andrew Jackson. Not Andrew Jackson.

Alan Jackson. Alan Jackson. I think he was found there. I think he was. I think he was discovered on the Lawrence Welk show. Right there. So. Fuck.

Go on. Oh, man. Police reopened the investigation. Yeah. It's in consultation with the district attorney. The whole deal. It remains that the death was a suicide by a single gunshot to the chest. That's why he's that's why he's questioning it.

Yeah. It's rare. A lot of people do. It happens. Yeah. But it's just rare. People do it all the time. They don't want to put it to their head.

Right. So he's probably going with the fact that he shot that he's shot in the chest and she's shacking up with another dude that she had an affair with. Must have done that. Those things are too much for a guy that blows shit up exactly he can't handle we'll find out why his thoughts are a little flighty too he's got he's got issues here uh what he does is he stops paying the mortgage on the house that uh the shoes living in her dad and his dad and lisa lived in and the house was foreclosed on. They also, he fought with Lisa, the stepmother, about how the father's belongings should be divided.

It was a battle. And it's not even close to over. Holy shit, is it getting epic here. He's still racing there. He's racing for Haas CNC Racing here. He ends up driving in the number 70 car at the beginning of the 2008 season. So, by the way, this Haas has no relation to the Carl Haas before. This is Gene Haas, who's a different guy.

There's so many Haases. There's a lot of Haases. There's a lot of white trash in that last name. There really is. 2008 season, he completes seven races. His best finish is 16th, though, that year before he is released from the team. So he's released from the team. He's got to go figure something else out.

I found an interesting thing here. That year at the 2008 Barrett-Jackson car auction, which is a big auction here that Phoenix and Scottsdale sells a big thing, they sold a car of his, the No. 12 car, a Ford Taurus race car, a NASCAR car owned by Penske Racing or whatever. Driven by him. It's a No. 12 car. Ford Taurus race car, a NASCAR car owned by Penske Racing or whatever. Around 28 or something like that. Driven by him. It's a number 12 car. 850 horsepower. Yeah.

It was sold for $40,700. That's cheap. That doesn't seem that bad, actually. I was guessing around $130,000. Yeah, you can't get a fucking Honda Pilot for that price. That's not bad, as you know. Right. Because you've had one for a while now.

So January 2009, Jeremy says, i don't have a team he announces he's going to attempt a cell phone toyota team for a full season he's going to use the number 41 yeah uh he's gonna he's going to the to the uh daytona 500 he said and uh and i all that so he's gonna build his own like the jamaican bobsled team or some shit? He's going to build his own. Yes, exactly. Jesus. He's going to get John Candy to sponsor his team. Kentucky, we've got the bobsled team. That's what he's doing. So he's doing that. He has 10 races.

He only qualifies for five of them in the 09 season. So it's not going great so far. And May 1st, it gets much, much worse. May 1st, 2009, he fails a drug test. He fails a drug test. Uh-oh. He fails a drug test. Not terrific. It's a drug test for methamphetamines is what he fails for.

You mean like the kind of drugs that fuel. Talk fast. Right. Fuels your speech and mumble and makes you blow shit up. That sort of thing. Yeah. He says, this is May 1st, he successfully drives practice laps at Richmond International Raceway. And this is from court documents because this shit gets heavy later.

He does these in preparation for the race the next day. At the conclusion of the practice session, a NASCAR official instructed Jeremy to report to the trailer for random drug testing, as they do, inside the trailer. And by the way, this whole strict drug thing was pretty new for NASCAR at this point because they just never had any real problems with that. I'm sure the guys are just alcoholics and God knows what. Well, I think that Kevin Harvick was the one that kind of initiated this stuff because that guy's a fucking menace. Maybe.

I'm not sure. I may be wrong. And it's funny, too, because I looked in and I had all this stuff, resources that I was going to go into kind of the NASCAR and how they did their policy. And there's just no fucking time to do it. There's so many guys. None of it's included. There's no way. There's so many of them with DUIs.

And it's like you drive for a living. That's like the FedEx guy getting a DUI. What are you doing? You're an idiot. Why would you do that when that's exactly. You have to be in a driver's seat to make your paycheck. You pay your mortgage. That's what you do. And you're going to get a fucking DUI. You're an idiot. Why would you do that when that's exactly – you have to be in a driver's seat to make your paycheck. You pay your mortgage. That's what you do.

And you're going to get a fucking DUI. You're an idiot. That's a fucking fact. And there's so many of them with him. So he gets – he goes inside the trailer. They tell him about the procedure. They tell him he's going to piss in a cup. They tell him to get the cup.

He says that he's told to select a cup, a urine sample cup from a cluttered, non-sterilized table is what he says. He says he told the collector, the urine collector. That's some job for you. I'm the collector. And he holds your hand down and pisses it off. Collecting. Don't spill any water. He said he'd taken, he tells him he's taken two Claritin D pills within the past 24 hours. He's already making the story.

He's making it exactly. You betcha. He tells, the collector guy tells Mayfield that he needs to inform, you know, the NASCAR people about the use of Clarenton D and whatever. They'll figure that out. The collector instructs, tells Mayfield he's got to step into a restroom, tells him to piss in the cup there. Mayfield says the area was neither secure or sterilized, which sterilized or not, unless there's meth falling into the piss,

I don't understand what the difference is. It's piss. You think there's going to be a splash of piss? It's not DNA. This isn't DNA where it's like, oh, it's a little corrupted. It's meth. Is there meth rocks falling from the ceiling? Is it that bad?

Maybe there's so much meth piss all over this bathroom, a drop's going to fall from the ceiling. Is there a meth addict hosing down that bathroom? Maybe. That's what it is, pissing everywhere. It's got to be. Dripping from the ceiling. That's a problem. You know what I just thought of real quick?

Maybe these guys just think, I drive sober at 200 miles an hour two beers yeah i can drive boring this truck is i'm doing 40 i can drink a 12 pack and be fine and honestly the reaction time these guys have in racing is like it's not normal reaction time that me or you would have or normal people so they probably could drink enough to slow the reaction time and half and still drive much better than me And still drive much better than me. And still drive much better than us. That's probably a fact. But still, it's like the old Doug Stanhope joke, is you should have a driver's test and see how drunk you're allowed to drive at.

Maybe for you it's.10, maybe for me it's.07, who knows. So May 7th, he's told of his failed test. He gives an excuse that it's a combination of prescription pills. Boy, is he loaded with the excuses. He's got a lot of excuses here. Now, other drivers, because he's saying, I just did that. And other drivers have no reason to not believe him. So they're getting scared, too.

Other guy, Mark Martin, said everybody's a little nervous about this right now. The small number of drivers I talk to are on edge right now based on what happened to Jeremy and not knowing what we're allowed to take. So they're thinking he failed to drive. They believe him. Yeah. They're thinking he failed to, you know. You got a false positive. They're scared to take multivitamins.

Drivers say they're scared to take protein shakes because they don't know what's going to trigger this test here. Now, the head of the NASCAR's whole deal here, this France guy, we're going to talk to him a few times in the future. Jeremy's going to have some words for him. He says, quote, if you should test positive for over-the-counter medications or a prescribed medication that you are on with your doctor, that doesn't result in a NASCAR suspending you. You will be asked to explain why you have a certain substance that was identified in a test. That's happened a lot, and it doesn't get you in a suspension. He said a combination of over-the-counter and prescription drugs do not somehow create a prohibited drug that magically appears in the body. That's what I'm talking about.

That's hysterical. And that's the same thing you get with DNA where it's like the making a murderer thing where it's like, well, that sample was contaminated. So now it says it's him. Right. Well, it doesn't make no level of contamination makes it come up. Somebody else's DNA would come up inconclusive. But you can it's you know, people don't realize that in the jury. They sit there like, oh, shit. That's crazy.

Yeah. It's like contaminated or not. If it had his DNA in it, it still is. It's done now. If they think it was contaminated because they planted his DNA in it. That's another case. Then you got a different story story that's another thing but anyway and if you think this is this piss sample is contaminated because somebody put meth in it then okay yeah yeah but it listen nyquil and

and claritin yeah don't create meth together no it's like well you know i take a little uh you know antidepressant there i take paxil and i take claritin d oh that's meth together. It's like, well, you know, I take a little antidepressant there. I take Paxil and I take Claret and D. Oh, that's meth together in your body. In your body, that forms methamphetamine. I'm surprised you didn't know that. Yeah, it's the exact chemical compound for meth. The same one the Nazis made.

It's that meth. I'm surprised you didn't know that. Good old-fashioned Nazi meth is what that is. That's the good stuff from back then. They gave that to Hitler. I'll tell you that right now. Nothing but the best. Another Cousin Eddie. So anyway,

the drivers, a lot of people said the drivers are saying they want a list of banned shit, which I honestly give me a fucking list of what I'm allowed to take, what I'm not allowed to take. And some of them, people like Dale Earnhardt Jr. just seems like such an asshole for saying this. He seems like it.

He said, quote, nobody deserves no list. Nobody deserves no list. Nobody should be able to be told what they're allowed to not take in their job. They should just fucking, I hate people like that. He says, don't do drugs. Don't do stupid stuff. It's stupid to do it anyways, regardless if you're driving or racing cars or not. It's a dumb idea.

Just don't be ignorant. How about tell me if I'm allowed to take allergy medication, you redneck shit-kicking fuckhead? How's that, you dumb fuck? I'll get up there with a chisel and scrape you off that mountain, you dickhead. That's Junior going, and don't vaccinate your kids. Nobody needs no, you just live in a rural area. When's the last time you even heard of somebody with polio? Keep them on your farm.

It'll be fine. Just keep them on the farm. Wow. Eat shit, Junior. Taylor Swift is soaring high. Her every move captured in the news cycle and devoured by her devoted fans. She's broken billboard records and made Grammys history. Not to mention becoming a

He's like, this is bullshit, but the bee sample comes back, same shit. So whatever. So May 9th, 2009, he's suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for failing the test.

He says, in my case, I believe that the combination of prescribed medicine and over-the-counter medicine reacted together and resulted in a positive drug test. My doctor and I are working with both Dr. Black and NASCAR to resolve this matter. All good. I'm good now. It's totally fine. NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said there's no place for substance abuse in our sport. God damn it. NASCAR also suspended two crew members for failed tests at the same race.

How about that? They were Tony Martin and Ben Williams were these poor crew members that now everybody knows their name and they're not even famous. Sorry, guys. But they're out there doing drugs with their driver. Sorry. That was dumb. So Mayfield, he's got a team. He's got sponsors.

Now, he's responsible for these sponsors. And he's like, oh, fuck, this isn't going to look real good here. Like I said, the drivers, Jimmy Johnson comes out and says, no clue what it is. The policy is in place. If you use something that's illegal as far as a substance abuse policy, you get in trouble. So it is what it is. Yeah. He's like, I'm not taking a fucking side, basically.

I don't know what happened. I don't know shit. Now, while the bee practice was getting sampled, he was still running practice sessions and shit because that's kind of like an appeal process, I guess, at that point. The NASCAR people said that he can return to NASCAR only after he completes a, quote, path for reinstatement that's tailored to each individual. It can include rehab and varies depending on the person and the substance and their amount of times, blah, blah, blah. The suspension cannot be appealed, though. He has to just – He has to serve it.

He has to serve it and do what they say to get back in. They also tell him that the race at Lowe's Motor Speedway, even though he's going to put another driver into his number 41 Toyota car, they said that it cannot be entered with Mayfield as the owner. Oh. He can't even... He can't be a part of this at all. Not allowed to race, not allowed to do shit.

That's because he's benefiting financially if he wins. Yeah, they don't want that. Yeah. Exactly. So May 29, 2009, he's benefiting financially if he wins. Yeah, they don't want that. Exactly. So May 29, 2009, he files a lawsuit against NASCAR. He sues NASCAR. He sues its owner, Brian Zachary France, who's the

France guy we talked about here. Sues the drug testing company for defamation, unfair and deceptive trade practices, breach of contract and negligence. He's not fucking around. Playing devil's advocate? That's the lawsuit you file if you're innocent. That's what you have to do.

You have to throw it all out there. Motion basically says he wants to make the July 4th Daytona race, and he needs an injunction by Wednesday to be able to do this. His attorney here says, quote, Mayfield has already been publicly accused, tried, and convicted by NASCAR, even though he has done nothing wrong. As a result, Mayfield and his team have lost and will continue to lose crucial advertising, sponsorship, and business opportunities. His sponsor now refuses to honor its commitments. Smaller corporate sponsors that Mayfield worked with successfully in the past will no longer do business with him either.

Bad shit just happens. That's bad stuff. So if he didn't do meth, this is fucking bad for him. Yeah, this is a big deal. NASCAR countersues him on June 5th. They claim that Mayfield had, you know, that he's lying. You know, it's an additional, they just have to file a suit back here. He's lying.

They say it's meth. They also include affidavits from Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson, Robbie Gordon. These are all top drivers that they are, quote, not willing to put my life at risk driving a race car on a NASCAR track with drivers testing positive for drugs that diminish their capacity to drive a race car. I like it. If NASCAR is forced to allow a drug user to race in its events, such driver may cause serious injuries, including fatalities, to NASCAR's fans.

There you go. Trying to say that. It would take a simple lapse of judgment by a driver under the influence of a banned substance to create a catastrophic accident. If anybody should be, yeah. If you're playing basketball, I don't give a shit what you're on. What's the worst that could happen? It gives a fuck. What are you going to do?

Hit your head on the rim? I don't give a fuck. You're driving 200 miles an hour in a car that if you hit something. I don't want you to drink beer yesterday. Right. Fucking focus. You hit the wall at a funny angle, and that car goes up in the air. It's going so fast, wind will make that thing fucking fly.

Oh, absolutely. And it will go over the rail and into the crowd, and that's dangerous. Shit is a little dangerous. If you've been to a NASCAR race, you're basically on the fucking track. You are so close. It's right there. People die in NASCAR races. They so close. It's right there. People die in NASCAR races. They really do.

It's right there. He really wants to race in Daytona. In all the years he's raced there, his best finish was a sixth place in 1999. It's not bad. No, a lot of 20s. 28, 20, 22, 24, 26. A lot of those. So that's not really his track anyway.

June 26, 2009, in an effort to save his ass, he transfers ownership of his car, of his team, to his wife, Shanna. Oh, God. Because she's suspended. He can, she can own it. She can race it, sure. So that's what it is. I mean, she can pay somebody to race it. Yeah, yeah.

They get J.J. Yelly as the driver. Shanna said, quote, when Jeremy started this thing from the beginning, our goal was to run all season, and that hasn't changed. We have our race sponsors with AllSport and a small sponsor behind us. We're moving on like that, and it's like it's just another race weekend. She's great. That's what I mean. She's tough. She said, quote, of course it's a lot different.

It's going to be a whole different attitude mentally from all the guys. We've just got to move on and act like it's any other weekend, and we'll go racing. She said through bloody gums. She said exactly. Is she doing meth with him too? Because she is such a fucking gamer. She's a gamer. She maintains her husband

did nothing. I don't think she knows what he does. I think he goes out and she's like, I don't know, he's outside doing something. He's smoking meth

and blowing shit up and she's watching movies and like drinking a glass of wine. Like, I don't know what he does. Sweet tea. I don't know. Yeah, sweet tea. What are we talking about? Yeah, she's from South carolina she maintains his innocence she keeps saying that uh she says uh they they missed like four races and she said

it was financial issues is why uh they missed their end up missing races in the future here she said small sponsors mayfield says he's been forced to lay off 10 employees uh they've had to borrow money from family and sell personal assets to meet their living expenses. He says, quote, Jeremy says, quote, I do not understand how or why this is happening to me or my family. I have always anticipated that I would be able to race for another 10 years, but I believe my career will effectively be over if I am forced to sit out the rest of this season.

I'm afraid that I will have to sell my race team and I know of no other way to make a living except as a professional race car driver. He gives a statement in an affidavit here in the court filing. That's doing it in their own words here. Let's see what he has to say in their own words. Quote, I have never taken methamphetamines in my life, and when accused of taking them, I immediately volunteered to give another urine sample. Aegeus, which is the company, refused my offer. The Aegeus drug test was

erroneous. Their actions and those of NASCAR have eliminated my ability to show the test results were a false positive. Goddamn. Twice. Two false positives might do. He's an idiot. So, July 1st, 2009, a federal judge lifts his suspension. Oh, what? They lift his suspension. They believe him.

Yeah, they lift his suspension. Oh, what? They lift his suspension. They believe him. Yeah, they lift his suspension. They're super fucking happy he's going to be able to race in Daytona. Sure. So that's overturned. He's ecstatic, Jeremy. Him and his wife, the reporters see them embracing outside of the courthouse. They're so happy. Mayfield turned and said, this is just huge for us.

We're just so happy. They just beat the system. They're back in. Jesus, my life was over. Now it's back in. Straight and narrow. I'm not even taking fucking Claritin anymore. I am not taking Tylenol. Nothing. Nothing. No. July 6, 2009, Mayfield

again test positive for meth. Again. Fucking again. Five days later, after he went through all that shit, still had to fucking do it. He had to celebrate. Again. Five days. Jesus fucking Christ. They're not going to drug test me now, so I'm going to take it.

I'm good now. July 16, 2009, NASCAR has an investigation into the whole thing. Now they want answers. This is bullshit. Guess who they ask for some answers? Who? Lisa Mayfield, his stepmom. Someone that might give answers that he doesn't like.

Oh, shit. Somebody that's going to be honest. She says that she's seen him use methamphetamines more times than she could count. She said that she ends up basically testifying on behalf of NASCAR. Jeremy said it's only because she killed his dad and Jeremy cut her off financially. She said that she's seen him use methamphetamine on at least 30 occasions from 1998 on, including one right before a race in 1999. Whoa. She said, yeah.

Lisa said, this is the affidavit, okay? I'll just read her statement because it's fucking crazy. It's a little long, but it's crazy. She's hiding nothing. She's hiding nothing. She says, quote, I was married to Terry Allen Mayfield and Jeremy Mayfield is my stepson. In fact, I married Terry Allen Mayfield in 2003 on the same day

at the same church by the same preacher as when Jeremy and Shana Mayfield were married. They were married first. Terry and I were married immediately after. That's nice. She says, I am giving this affidavit concerning my personal knowledge of Jeremy's use of methamphetamine. Yes.

I first saw Jeremy using methamphetamine in 1998 at his shop on Jackson Road in Mooresville, North Carolina. Jeremy cooked some of his own methamphetamine in his shop by the house. Wow. He cooked some of his own methamphetamine in his shop by the house. Wow. Until the stores took pseudo-Phedron off the shelves. In addition to making amphetamine for his own use, I'm aware that Jeremy has bought methamphetamine from others between 1998 and 2005.

I'm personally aware that Jeremy used methamphetamine often. I was concerned about his heavy use and talked to his father about it. I saw Jeremy use methamphetamine by snorting it up his nose at least 30 times during the seven years I was around him. Jeremy used methamphetamine not only in my presence, but also when we were both in the presence of others. Jeremy told me that he did methamphetamine before the awards ceremony when he drove for Ray Everham. In 1999, Terry, Jeremy, and Shana and myself took a trip to Myrtle Beach the weekend before the Darlington race. I saw Jeremy using methamphetamine in Myrtle Beach. We left Myrtle Beach and traveled to Darlington for the race.

I saw Jeremy using methamphetamine again when we reached Darlington. He's running meth all day. Yeah. What he says through his lawyer, his lawyer says, quote, Jeremy's lawyer, quote, we'll respond to this. We're not worried about it. Lisa Mayfield has her own issues. That's what they say. OK. NASCAR obviously wants the judge to vacate the injunction from before and say, look, we can suspend him forever. NASCAR says, quote, because Mr. Mayfield's repeated and confirmed use of methamphetamine violates our substance abuse policy.

We don't fucking want him here, basically. We want to uphold this deal here. He seemed confident, though. He said he was going to win Mayfield. So I'm going to fight and win. He said, yeah, I can tell you this. I'm not going to lay down. I'm going to stand up for what's right, and that's the way I am, who I am, he says.

And they can try to throw every little tactical thing they can throw at me, but I promise you I am not going down. And they can try to throw every little tactical thing they can throw at me, but I promise you I am not going down. I want the world to know, and if I do anything at all, hopefully it will be to make their drug policy like it needs to be, allowing meth. Easier on meth. I need meth in my racing. Now, God damn it, I want meth. So what he does is he, in response to Lisa's testimony saying about all the meth, he publicly accuses her of killing his father jesus you can't do that he accused her also of accepting money in exchange for testimony from nascar uh and then it turned uh ugly also here it's not ugly yet no it's not

okay uh so yeah he's accusing her publicly of killing his father uh then he says in their own words here in their own words quote they picked the wrong woman to use against me because that bitch is trash and I got nothing on me but lies. She don't deserve the Mayfield name. She's hated me since I since my dad got killed because I won't give her any money. She goes on the internet

and blogs lies about me and Shana and everything you can imagine. She's broke and so I guess NASCAR had to give her some money. She's basically a whore. She shot and killed my dad. That's his fucking statement. How is that a whore? Because she was banging some other guy.

He didn't say that. No, he just said she's basically a whore. She shot and killed my dad. That was some meth rambling. Yeah, he says that he plans to serve Lisa Mayfield with a wrongful death suit. Lisa's pissed. She rambling. Yeah, he says that he plans to serve Lisa Mayfield with a wrongful death suit. Lisa's pissed. She's pissed. Yeah.

This is fucking crazy. That's so great, though, that he just, he's so frustrated. He wants to say something. He wants it out. He wants to say something about her. She's basically a whore. She's just a whore. She's a fucking whore.

I'm telling you. She's a broke, basic whore. Bro she's basically a whore. She's just a whore. She's a fucking whore. I'm telling you. She's a broke, basic whore. Broke-ass fucking whore. So what does she do in response? She files a civil suit against him for defamation of character. My lady. I like her. She probably should.

Jesus Christ. So she files a suit for defamation of character. So in 2009, this summer, this is like the white trash Olympics. We got fucking NASascar mountain dew alan jackson crazy stepmoms are fucking fighting with step sons about who killed my father and he commits suicide and your big meth test and all this shit people screaming she's basically a holy shit this is an episode of like a late 90s talk show here this is unbelievable fucking jerry springer time what is happening with these people? This is Geraldo.

This is Richard Bay stuff. It's crazy. Yeah, it's even worse than Jerry. You think this is crazy, right? Remember when Richard Bay had a guy in the sound booth that would play sound effects and shit? That's where this is. You think it's bad, right?

Shut your face. This is the White Trash Olympics right now. Guess what? About to get way worse. August 16th, 2009, Lisa Mayfield, obviously, the set mother here. Yeah, she's arrested Saturday night after an incident at Jeremy's house. What? 8.30 p.m. This is nuts.

The arrest was made at their house, Jeremy and Shana's house. This is according to Shana. Jeremy and Shana were on their way to Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina. One day? For a dirt track race. This is August 16th, 2009. They have a couple that lives on their property and kind of takes care of their property. They called.

This couple calls Shana and Jeremy and said that there's banging on the door and they won't stop. And so they turn around and go back to the house to investigate. By the time they get back to the house, they find Lisa Mayfield in handcuffs. Oh, boy. So at that point, what Lisa does is she threatened to, quote, come back and kill Shana. What? She's going to kill me. You can't say that.

You can't say that. Jeremy had a criminal complaint about this, obviously. Jeremy's in his complaint said, quote, she has been told several times to stay away from our home. Also having two no trespassing signs at the entrance of my driveway because of her. She hit my employee and made racial remarks to him and his family. Also threatened my wife and threatened to kill all of us. There's multiple criminal complaints here. Complaint from Damien Bone, who's the employee that we're talking about, who is listed as Asian.

It says in the court documents. Really? Criminal complaint from Damien Bone, Mayfield's employee, comma, who is listed as Asian. What the fuck different? I guess because there's a racial slur coming up. But still, that's on there? I hope it's the wrong slur. That would be great.

I hope she calls him something else. This complaint says, quote, Lisa came off on the property, got out of the car and went to Jeremy and Shana Mayfield's front door, beat on it, cussing. She yelled at me for the whole duration she was there. She threatened to kill the Mayfields, called me racial slurs, assaulted me, my wife, my daughter, and daughter's fiance. That's a bit deep. Yeah, he claims that Lisa Mayfield punched him in the chest with her fist. Criminal complaint from Madeline Bone, the wife.

Lisa was cussing my husband, calling him racial names while hitting him. I pointed my finger at her in some words, and she kicked me in the crotch. Oh, God. I knew that was coming. She kicked a woman in the vagina. That's amazing. Told me several times she was going to kill both me and Shanna Mayfield, and she'd, quote, be back to get us. I believe her.

She's kicking vaginas. Criminal complaint from the daughter, Jessica, Lisa came after me, barely hit my arm and then jumped. Then my fiance jumped in between us. She hit him and grabbed his shirt, then kept calling us disparaging names.

Criminal complaint from the boyfriend. Lisa came after my fiance. I stepped between her and Lisa. So she couldn't do any harm. She hit my fiance in the arm and then me in the chest and then grabbed a hold of my shirt and called me names. So she sounds like a real fucking peach. She kicked my mother-in-law in the vagina. Yeah.

The spokesman for the police department said, quote, according to the officer, she was pretty high. The officers took her to jail on public assistance to make sure she didn't cause problems to herself or anybody else. The Mayfields came up to the office and took charges out. She was arrested on those charges while in jail. So they took her away just for like, what the fuck is her problem? She was pretty high. So was she drunk, you think? Is that what they think?

Well, we don't know here because there's a lot of things going on here. Lisa will be charged with public intoxication. She also has warrants issued for four counts of simple assault and second degree trespassing for that because she's out on the ground. She was released after making a $5,000 unsecured bond payment. August 26, 2009.

This is right around the same time here. Ray Everham and Aaron Crocker get married in Las Vegas. Oh, shit. He was fucking right. You betcha. He was fucking right. He nailed it. He nailed it. He knew it was up, which is fucking hilarious. I had to put that in there because I'm like, you know what?

At least he was right about that. They stayed together for years in 2015. They have a daughter named Kate Susan. Oh, and they're still together doing great. Yeah. Now, late summer, he calls up the France. Brian France is on a radio show on Sirius XM NASCAR radio. He called in?

He called in. Oh my God. Jeremy calls in. As the radio guy, the producer calls, when that guy calls in and goes, that's good fucking radio. Yeah, this is Mayfield.

I got to talk to the guy. You go, awesome. You're in. Right through. You're on the air. Shut up. I don't care about the Knicks this week. I don't give a shit what race he's promoting.

Here we go. Let's go here. He said, quote, this is great. This is what he says. Quote, you know, Brian France out there talking about effective drug policy is kind of like Al Capone talking about effective law enforcement. The pot shouldn't be calling the kettle black. I love it. That's what he's saying.

By the way, there's tons of stuff later on where Brian France had a drug problem, apparently. Get out. And was in rehab facilities. later on where brian france had a drug problem apparently get out was in rehab facilities and there's all these lawsuits with uh testimony for people at rehabs that knew him and officers that uh pulled him over and found drugs on him and were forced to let him go because he's the head of nascar and it's the south and he's boss you don't say shit sorry let him go uh yeah so november 20th 2009 uh shit is bad He's calling in radio stations. He's desperate as fuck.

He auctions off all of his stuff. Okay. Everything. All right. Large barn, just a huge deal. Thousands of people are there. He's selling everything, too, from his property, fucking you name it. Everything he's got.

Fucking hair clippings. Everything I got. It's all for sale. Land, cars, dirt bikes, bulldozers. Yeah he's got. Fucking hair clippings. Everything I got. It's all for sale. Land, cars, dirt bikes, bulldozers, sunglasses. His dogs. Yeah. 3,000 people showed up. There's a 13,000 square foot home here.

Heavy equipment. You name it. He needs the cash, he says here. A neighbor says that he stopped by for a look at the land because he drove by it all the time. Nosy neighbors. He said to him it was clear that Mayfield was done wrong. He said, quote, it could happen to all of us. He looks like a nice guy with a nice family. It's a real shame. Conspiracy

theories. Anybody could get... Goddamn Illuminati. Yeah, it's a multiple meth test. I mean, do you believe him? You think he's on meth? I think he's on meth. Okay, that's what I thought. That's good. Well, let's find out out a little bit here he says it's a it's a way to downsize his lifestyle uh they they need to put uh they decided to put their private property and real estate auction on the block they want to start over uh they have there's also horses that they're going to do auctions on

everything even shanna even had some of her clothes and personal items for sale they're having a giant yard sale with everything they were hanging out laughing shanna said quote we're not going to let this get us down we're fighting and we're going to keep fighting i'd rather be here today than in homestead to be honest with you i don't want to be around people that have treated us the way they've treated us and how things have gone down it's exciting for us the auction's fun we're having a good time getting rid of a lot of stuff. It's fun. It's just stuff.

That's what we all have to realize. It's just stuff. What's important is that we're healthy. We're happy. We have each other. We've got our friends and family. That's all that really matters at the end of the day because it's just stuff. And I don't need stuff.

I swear I don't need stuff. I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear. She says before she has a fucking breakdown. The last part I made up. Just I swear, I swear. All the rest of it, true. She said it. She said that stuff shit.

It's just stuff. It's just stuff. They said... She said they're auctioning her Louis Vuitton bag and she's sitting in the corner just going, it's just stuff. It's just stuff. It's just stuff.

It's okay. I don't need stuff. It's just stuff. It's just stuff. It's just stuff. It's just... They're selling everything. The journalist here says they have a thing where they have the auctioneer.

At one point, he looks up and the auctioneer said, sold for $15. Holding up a circular saw blade. That's how down to the minute they're fucking selling. A saw blade. He said he hopes to get $5 million. Wow. He doesn't know what to do. He said, I've got to be here.

We have an in their own words on the whole thing. In their own words, quote, when you're not doing your job anymore, you don't have any income coming in. That wasn't my choice. That was NASCAR's choice by accusing me of something that is wrong and putting me in a situation where I don't have any income coming in. So I've got to do something to make a living now. You can't say income coming in, by the way. He's doing it. You've got to say, I don a living now. You can't say income coming in, by the way. He's doing it. You've got to say, I don't have any income and stop talking.

Now you made me cut music now. All I've ever knew was driving race cars. Well, I can't do that. They've taken that from me. I've got to do something. So this is what I know. When people hear the word auction, they think bottom of the barrel. That's not the way it is.

When you see what's going on today, how many people are here and what they're spending, it says a lot. Yeah, that doesn't say a lot. Nobody says that racing is the bottom of the barrel. No, no, auction. Oh. You're auctioning all your shit off. That definitely says bottom of the barrel. When you're standing there saying, I'm selling everything I own because I'm broke.

Yeah. Yeah. He says it'll help financially, but it's also what I want to do. So he's trying to act like it's all good. I'm good now. It's fine. Ridiculous, man. You know, so I saw Emmett Smith when he played for the Cardinals.

When he moved out of town, he lived in Paradise Valley. He rented the same house that Shaq rented when Shaq was playing for the Suns, whatever. I saw a yard sale of all his old shit, and it was not – it wasn't like this. It was like I'm moving, and this is a bunch of suits and shit that I don't need, so I'm selling this. That's a yard sale. It wasn't your fucking heavy equipment. This is everything I have. This is everything.

This is bottom of the barrel, bro. Yeah, this is desperation. This should be rock bottom for you that you don't touch meth ever again. Yeah, let's find out. Let's find out how he reacts to this. I think he'll find out well. Ah, fuck. He says he's in a lot of debt.

It is a legal fight. He's hired an expensive attorney. He fired Mark Garagos. I've actually heard of him. He's an expensive attorney. Sure. He said he's been trying to delay the case. NASCAR's been trying to drain

him by getting continuances on the case. So he has to pay more and more money. He's taking more shots at Brian France and the lawyers taking shots at France. France is pissed off. He says, nothing surprises me with trial lawyers in the 21st century. They're an amazing group of people. He's very angry. He says it's regrettable because our preference is never to be in litigation. But you're going to have to be in litigation because this guy wants back in. May 22, 2010, Judge Graham Mullen dismisses Mayfield's case against NASCAR. The injunction said that he could sue, and now this says he can't sue. He can't sue NASCAR because of the waivers he signed to compete in the Sprint Cup Series.

He also questioned the strength of Mayfield's evidence. He also said, and on top of that, I think you're fucking lying, basically. Yeah, he says it's not, it doesn't fly here. Mayfield, again, he was trying to play the, you know, it was Adderall. He said he had Adderall and Claret and Dee. And that together makes meth. No. If you just mix that in a bowl, now it's meth.

You can go out on the street and sell it. So good luck. Do that. Here's the thing. I'm not a fan of lawyers either. Lawyers in general are slimy, but they're only as slimy as the case that they represent. You know what I mean? That's the thing.

They're only as slimy as the person that they're representing. Yeah. You can have a great attorney that does great things. There's great attorneys all over the place. Hey, if you were accused of something you didn't do, you would love some fucking slick-talking attorney to get you the fuck out of it. You would love that. Or if you're accusing somebody of doing something horrible, you want a Gloria Allred. Yeah.

That's the one there. 2010, Lisa Mayfield, stepmom, does another deposition. Yeah. She says at this point that her husband also did meth yeah uh and stopped using meth a couple years before he died and later began drinking right from the time he woke up in the morning uh and the prior to his death jesus he said quote he stopped the meth when jeremy and him quit talking jeremy would not supply him with it anymore oh is what he said this This is in the wrongful death case against her. She said in the deposition she only tried crystal meth a few times.

Oh, boy. She said that her husband kept the drug in a small plastic bag. James said that with a giant smile. Yeah, just a couple times. Just a little bit of meth. And Jeremy can't say, no, no, you did meth with us a hundred times. He has to admit he did meth, so there's 22 amazing deal with that uh she said that uh he kept uh the husband terry kept it in a small plastic film container in the bathroom and uh would snort

it through a hollow pen yeah is what he would do uh she also said that sometime around 2007 terry told uh jeremy that he would make a deal with him that Terry would go to rehab for alcohol if Jeremy went for crystal meth. Oh. He's like, I'll make a deal with you. She said before they got into it, they were both doing crystal meth all the time, and Jeremy was paying him by hiring him to keep him from going to tell NASCAR that he was on the crystal meth. Right.

So that's on the crystal meth. He's on the crystal meth, I'll tell you right now. Right. So that's on the crystal meth. He's on the crystal meth. I'll tell you right now. So. Anytime you say the, I think she did that to like separate herself from it.

That crystal meth that the kids are doing out there. The crystal, right. That's what all the street people do. It's like anybody that smokes weed saying that them kids are always on the pot. Yes. It's stupid. February 2nd, 2011, Jeremy says he's looking to start a metal recycling business. Like a meth head?

Like a meth head, exactly. I'm thinking about just going around. I don't know what it is lately. For a long time, I just wanted to race, but now lately I've just had this desire just to go up and pick up scrap metal. I don't know what to do with it. I just have to pick it up.

So I said, I guess I could sell it. That's a business, right? You can sell scrap metal. Scrap metal's worth money, so I can just do that. What do you think? I'm going to get a shopping cart and go around like Bubbles and his friend, the white kid who died. We're going to take him around.

The kid from kids. Yeah, the one from kids who had AIDS. That's right. That's the same guy. It's the same guy. It's in the same thing. So Bubbles, they went around and picked up. Fucking Casper.

It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Yeah, we can do that. Metal. Metal. Metal. Metal.

Metal. Metal. Metal. Metal. Metal. Sheet metal. Sheet metal. Metal.

Anything you find a sign on the side of the road. I'll take it. It's sheet metal. I'll take it. It's metal. Was it Casper? Casper, yeah. Casper was the one guy there.

Creepy fuck. So he also wants to do some dirt racing in the South. Yeah. His honest-to-goodness backup plan is to start a scrap metal company. A metal recycling business. That's what he's going to do. The only way that could be more stereotypical is if you start a drywall. Yeah.

It doesn't get any more messy. He said, for the most part, I try to stay busy on the farm or whatever, kind of in the process of opening up a new business, kind of like the metal recycling business. Really excited about that. Other than that, just taking it day by day. Really embracing that math, though, for sure. February 9th, 2011, Jeremy is court-ordered to apologize to his stepmother for the defamation. Court-ordered apology? Has to make a public apology as part of a settlement in the slander lawsuit that she filed against him. He still has his wrongful death suit going, but they've apparently said that this isn't going to look good for that.

He says, quote, I have previously made statements to the press in which I accused Lisa Mayfield of either murdering my father, Terry Mayfield, or being involved in a conspiracy to murder him. Those statements were made in the heat of my emotional state at the time. I now retract those statements and apologize to Lisa for having made them. Wow. He's forced to do that. That made them wow that's so he's forced to do that good well he's starting to sound reasonable and we'll see why here uh now he also has this is he just can't stop fucking off here this is more white trash in here april 21st 2011 he just had to he was court ordered to apologize to his stepmom that's some white

trash shit right there let's have have more. That's unbelievable. 2011 mail carrier Mary E. Bolton is delivering mail in Jeremy's neighborhood in Catawba County. Jesus Christ almighty. She's doing this. She has a package that is too

big to get through to put in the mailbox. She has to drive up and walk up to the door and drop it off. When she does, she is attacked by his five dogs that are roaming the property. Oh, Jesus. Pit bulls and Labradors. Okay. They get her pretty good.

They go after her. They tear her apart. She was out of work for several months. Jeremy came out and saved her. Jeremy heard what was going on, came out, scooped her up, called 911, drove her to the hospital, whatever. He saved her. But the dogs were wandering free on the property.

He lives in a huge property, like a farm. So they were wandering free, no trespassing signs, the whole thing. Yeah. So she ends up filing a lawsuit in September saying she lost almost $15,000 in wages and she was out of work. She also has post-traumatic stress disorder and nerve damage and has to do rehab and all this type of thing. So that's not going well apparently here.

It gets worse for Jeremy because now he's got that going on. She's suing him for God knows how much money. November 2nd, 2011, police raid his house. Jeremy's house is raided. Apparently, according to the search warrant, which I have all of, it's way to hear the list of item seized. Holy shit. Police worked for about a month with a guy named John Franklin, who's a complete crackhead, meth head piece of shit informant. But he knows shit.

He told them that Mayfield and about four other people would break into different businesses and steal heavy equipment. Trailers full of it. Really? Tons of shit. Like tractors and stuff? Everything. Okay. Yeah, different equipment depends oners full of it. Really? Tons of shit. Like tractors and stuff? Everything. Okay. Yeah, different equipment.

Depends on the business. Yeah. Sometimes it's tools. Table saws. Whatever. They steal all this shit. Like meth heads. Yeah, like fucking meth heads.

You're scrap metal. You're recycling metal. This is crazy. You're stealing tools. The warrant reads that it's been going on for about a year. This John Franklin also tells him that they would steal the items to get money to support his meth habit. The person told Franklin here told the police that that he used methamphetamine very frequently and that he consumes in front of him. Mayfield's consumed meth more than 500 times in his presence.

Holy shit. Lots and lots of meth. Now, let's see what they pulled out of his fucking property, shall we? I have, this is crazy, man. I have the entire search warrant, everything that they asked for. They claim in this there's all sorts of breaking and entering in the search warrant, breaking and entering to a motorsports facility in Mooresville, North Carolina, breaking and entering to Red Bull Racing, Mooresville, South Carolina,

mooresville north carolina breaking and entering to red bull racing mooresville south carolina breaking or entering into lee boy inc denver north carolina uh and stealing this shit from there he's seen at a at a duane scrap metal ink yep uh and i i guess he's seen there and then the corresponding it basically corresponds with 500 pounds of copper being stolen oh shit uh shit like that uh they question uh they question him about and they just all the guy keeps talking about is this is all for meth this is all meth meth meth meth the informant says so they raid his house looking for stolen goods that's all they're looking for let's find out what they find fuck loads of guns really fuck loads of guns uh yeah he's got got, man, I'm going to buzz through them quick. Okay.

A bolt-action rifle stamped 1954 old, a Mossberg 12-gauge Winchester 94 AE.357 caliber rifle, some fucking foreign rifle, a Remington Winchester model 1300 12-gauge antique black powder rifle. Wow. winchester model 1300 12 gauge antique black powder rifle another a 22 bolt action remington 16 group industries 9 millimeter for a also a 45 cal and a 22 of the same uh make uh a uh a taurus judge revolver yep uh a ruger uh red hawk revolver. That's a great fucking gun, by the way..44 Magnum. What? That Taurus, the Judge. It's so badass. Nice. Lever Action.45 caliber Colt. Yep.

Colt.45, old school. Just to give you an idea, the Taurus, it's a snub-nosed.357. It also fires. .44s? Yeah, but it also fires like shotgun style. Oh, okay. They're badass. They're unbelievable guns. They have a really long fucking revolver chamber.

The whole chamber of the revolver, it's super long, so you can put giant bullets in that fucking thing. It's like a little hand cannon. It's fucking sick. They're such great guns. That is nothing. We're talking bolt actions and rifles and 12 gauges. Like the high-powered shit. He's building a militia.

High-powered shit. And he's got AR-15. Oh, Christ. He's got a fucking AR-15 in there. bolt actions and rifles and 12 gauges and high powered shit. And he's got cult AR-15. He's got a fucking AR-15 in there. He's got semi-auto everything. He's got fully auto shit, double barrel shotguns. I am buzzing through the list because there are 69 guns at all. That's too much. 69 guns taken from his property.

I'm sure there are people listening that have more guns than that, but that's a lot of fucking weapons. That's a lot, and arguably too many. And besides that, for him and what he's into, he shouldn't have any. Constitutionally, James,

that's inaccurate. It's fine. Yeah, constitutionally, they were all thinking about someone having a Mossberg 410 pump with pistol grip. That's what was on their line, because that's what he had.

That's what they said. Yeah. They go, we're going to get that. Everybody should have them. Three of them, at least. Or 69. Three's fine. 69, for the love of God.

That's so much guns. So much. I'm scrolling pages and pages of rifles. So much guns. Rifles, shotguns, handguns, everything. Too much. That's not it, though. Also, nine small packages containing a white, crystal-y type substance. You shouldn't have that.

Later on, found to be crystal meth. Yeah. So he's got 69 guns. Right. Some crystal meth. Yep. Right now, this is bad. By the way, I'm so innocent.

Guess what? You just got caught with meth. Stop saying you're innocent right fucking now. Over with. At that point, everything you've ever said means nothing because you just got caught with meth. If you don't know when Crystal Pepsi was discontinued, what was

So more fucking guns, like I said. Guns coming out of his ass. Also, tons of paperwork because they documented every receipt, every title, every piece of paperwork that was in his house. They have everything. Also, too, this is the other thing they find here. This is the shit that matters. They find a bunch of stolen property. Like a big scanner, a Hems engraver, box shocks, a stoplight, a fucking stoplight.

A fucking traffic signal. I guess so. Three small air cylinder things, air cylinder for machinery, box receptacle for sewing machine, set of scales for weight, like big scales, Scott oxygen pack, control valve port, box of assorted hand tools, two heavy-duty jacks, heavy-duty winch, hydraulic rubber hose sets, gray plat, all of this shit that they found, trailers full of shit that was all fucking stolen. Wow. All this shit is stolen.

Motorized truck mirrors, vacuum pumps. Some of this shit was stolen from race, from his race teams in the past. Some of it was stolen from the companies that reported everything missing. Sure. It is fucking insane. This is all like heavy equipment shit, pallet jacks and shit like that. This is stuff you stole from fucking places.

Industrial places, right. It's crazy. Three buckets of four bins of assorted hydraulic fittings. I mean, shit like that. What the fuck is he doing? Gas pumps. Such random shit. Also, meth pipe and a butane lighter found in trailer beside the Mayfield residence. Green butane lighter and Marlboro cigarette pack found in trailer. And a lockpick set found in the garage at his residence.

Because you need a lockpick set to steal all this shit. All of those things, it's like a meth starter kit. Yeah. They give you all that stuff. No, it's a champion. It's a meth champion. Yeah, and they give you jackson cd and they send you on your way and a can of mountain dew and they kick you in the ass there you go champion fucking that's his that's his showcase of all the shit he's got uh yeah i would say so man so they say he stole from all these

places fitz motor sports is where he got the car shit in Mooresville. Other places, too, like we told you before, like the Red Bull one. About $100,000 in stolen items in this house. So 69 guns, meth, and $100,000 worth of stolen shit. Yeah, they're trying to figure out, the cops are trying to figure it out. He owes also $82,000 in back taxes on all of his properties. So they're trying to figure out how that's going to happen also because he's about to get foreclosed on. His lawyer says that he had no knowledge of either stolen property or methamphetamine

being present on his property and denies the accusation that he was in possession of methamphetamine or any illegal drug. Bullshit. That's the guy why I hate lawyers. It was Claritin and Adderall. I put them on the table together, turned around, looked back. It was a bag of meth. All of a sudden, it's three packages of so much meth.

If you put them within three feet of each other, they form meth. It's weird. It's a chemical reaction. They were all the stolen goods. They're like that meth. It's like that volcano. It's a meth volcano. It starts bubbling over.

That's it, man. You can't help it. You can't control it. It's like this kid's school project. It just pours over the sides. It's baking soda and vinegar, and it's fucking crazy. Stolen goods were located in the building and trailers on his property there, obviously.

One of the guys, Tom Weiss, who's Lee Family Real Estate, says about $65,000 worth of items were stolen from his business. Most of them recovered from Mayfield's house on Tuesday night. He said, anytime someone enters your property without permission, you're going to feel violated. It makes me mad. Yeah, no doubt.

He said, to me, they were just thieves. They just wanted to steal stuff. So he's like, I don't give a shit if he's a NASCAR driver or what the fuck he is. He's a goddamn meth head thief. The meth, it was only one and a half grams of meth. Oh. So it's definitely like personal use meth. Three small bags?

Well, he had it, one and a half grams divided up into six bags. Six of them, okay. Six of them. Jesus. So he went out and bought a bunch of them or he was going to sell it. I don't know what he was going to, who the fuck knows. Maybe that's all he had left that he was selling. Yeah, it's the investigators are blown

away. They don't understand why there's not more arrests and there are more arrests later on, but they're like one man didn't do all this. Right. You can't steal all this shit, one man. They don't understand why there's not more arrests and there are more arrests later on. But they're like, one man didn't do all this. You can't steal all this shit, one man. They found there was an incident involving Mayfield at 3 a.m. on February 26th before all this, when a tractor

trailer without the trailer, just the truck bar, was parked in the rear lot of Anderson Truck Lines in Hudson. The truck wasn't supposed to be there and the Hudson police came up to the truck and inside the cab was Jeremy Mayfield and another man. Police said that the pair told police they were there to rest.

The police officer left and then 15 hours later four trailers were reported stolen from that business. They left and they just drove all the trailers out. Kind of like the Russian guy on The Wire in season two on the docks. He just pops it on there and goes out. You gotta drop the box somewhere. Okay, never mind.

Moving on. Watch the wire. So NASCAR, they got to be gloating. NASCAR. I was just picturing the Russian guy from Die Hard with a Vengeance taking off with all the money out of fucking Fort Knox. That too. That too. NASCAR says-

Because all the cops were busy, James. They were busy looking for the bombs in the city. That's a shit movie, though. That's a great fucking movie. I love it. Minus the part where he backs up the truck, a giant fucking dump truck. Wait, what movie was that? Die Hard with a Vengeance. Die Hard, yeah, no. The last one.

That's terrible. Fucking great. Jesus Christ, Jimmy. Minus that part. It's fucking amazing. You haven't seen The Wire or Deadwood, but you've seen Die Hard with a Vengeance. Okay, moving on. That's hilarious. NASCAR has snarky shit to say. We've heard the news about Jeremy. We'll have to see how it plays out.

NASCAR's goal in the substance abuse program is to keep its competitors safe. That's all they say. We knew they were on meth. His wife yells at someone on Twitter about this shit. Get out of here. Well, not yells about her, but just yells in general. She's a hero, man. Someone named Brenda Hilgenberg on Twitter said the latest arrest was a setup, and Shanna said, such a shady deal, makes no sense.

She also later will yell at people on Twitter and other things here. January 24th, 2012, a three-judge panel in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond hears arguments about the lower court dismissing Mayfield's lawsuit against NASCAR. How can he even go through with this now? You got caught with mass— It's also been dismissed. Why are they even discussing an appeal? He's still arguing out—he's still arguing that it was prescription drugs. I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know why they can't just say, look, dude, we've heard about your metal recycling business. Case dismissed. We heard about that. We saw them out in Duke commercial. It's all done. Alan Jackson is booming from your car right now. We can't have this right now. You pulled up listening to Chattahoochee.

It's done. It's over. I'm sorry. March 6, 2012, they charge a second person in this case involved in the theft ring. They had a whole theft ring. This was like a big fucking deal. This is Rusty Alex Canipe. Four counts of felony larceny he gets.

Rusty ain't even on his birth certificate, by the way. They just call him that for no reason at all. Even his court documents say, we all just call him Rusty. Rusty. Rusty isn't at all. Even his court documents say Rusty. We all just call him Rusty. They talk about missing pieces of furniture and things stolen from the Anderson truck lines. This guy's bond was set at $100,000.

Old Rusty. Old Rusty. April 4th, 2012 with all this going on. Yeah. Mayfield's nobody wants to see him race, right? ARCA owner, the ARCA thing. Yep. ARCA owner interested in Mayfield.

Oh, boy. There's always a CBA. You bet. There's always a CFL. There's always a WFL. There's always a lower league that's willing to take someone with name value, no matter how much of a fucking disaster they are. They might get five more people to buy tickets.

So fuck it. We'll take it. He said if he can avoid jail time, he could have a job back behind the race car in our place this year we don't give a shit uh the owner uh roger carter said doesn't care uh he's into it he'll hire this guy in a fucking heartbeat yeah uh he hasn't applied for an arca license so uh the arca the arca sanctioning body had no comment on it right may 9th 2012 is the uh mailman or mailwoman mail person lawsuit verdict here. Judge William Z. Wood of Forsyth Superior Court awarded Mary E. Bolton $1 million.

Wow. Against Jeremy Mayfield and Shana Mayfield. Jeremy didn't even show up for it. Mayfield didn't file an answer and didn't appear in court on it. I mean, it's just coming out of your homeowner's insurance anyway. Who gives a shit? I suppose Jeremy said he didn't file a response to the lawsuit because he couldn't afford to hire another attorney. He said he already has attorneys representing him in other criminal matters, so he can't afford them.

A male lady better pray to Christ he doesn't have farmer's insurance. They're the fucking worst. They're the fucking assholes. He said, quote, if I had a million dollars to give away, it wouldn't be in this situation. No, I got to buy meth. They ruled that he was negligent in allowing his dogs to run loose on their property. Bolton said she was happy about the judgment, the mail carrier. Mayfield said that he's sorry that Bolton continues to suffer from injuries.

He said he offered to pay her medical expenses, which Bolton's lawyer refutes and says he never offered shit. He says he lives three quarters of a mile off the road and he moved to the country so his dogs wouldn't bother anyone. He said, quote, I'm far enough off the road not to get messed with. My dog's never left the property yet. Yet I've got one million dollar judgment against. She's trying to deliver you a package, you dickhead. Yeah. Be careful.

Yeah. So, yeah, he says— Why is she able to get on the property is the thing. Like, if you've got your gates open, you're a dickhead. Yeah, that's the problem. Yeah, he said Bolton was there to deliver mail. It wasn't like trying to sell him something or anything like that. It's not a Jehovah's Witness knocking at your fucking door.

Yeah, the judgment here, because they were talking about what about the financial difficulties, they ask this woman's lawyer. And the lawyer said, once it's formally entered, it's good for 10 years and is renewable for another 10 years. Nice. So, quote, at some point, Mr. Mayfield will have to address the judgment if he wants to get another home or a loan. He has 20 years to figure that out. So, yeah. May 21, 2012, Mayfield's wife, Shanna, here, files for Chapter 7 to get rid of all these creditors

because they have shit coming from everywhere. Oh, I'm sure. They file separately of all their deal here. They're being hounded by creditors constantly. How funny is he now, Shanna? How sparkly are those blue eyes and that big smile now? No shit. No shit.

They end up auctioning off his house, the 445-acre property. He had a $2.7 million debt in the home, and Carolina Farm Credit was the one who bought it for $1.37 million. They have less than $50,000 listed in assets in the bankruptcy and listing debt liabilities between $1 million and $10 million. Fuck. Yes. Further, Carolina Farm Credit Company may not be granted access to the property they purchased through auction if the bankruptcy case proceeds and exempts the property from liquidation. So they bought it in case the Mayfields can't pay it off, which they can't fucking pay it off.

There's no way they can do it. So, yeah, it's fine. $50,000 doesn't cover $10 million. Not at all here. September 2012, informant John Franklin, remember him? He dies following a high-speed police chase. Oh, he's still a scumbag? Oh, man.

Listen to this. Franklin and Allison Nixon, a woman he was with, they both died in a crash on US-321 in Granite Falls. They both died in a crash on US 321 in Granite Falls. The two died when their motorcycle they were riding at 120 miles an hour collided with a vehicle making a left turn. That ought to do it. That must have been messy as fuck. You bet. The highway patrol said they found seven and a half grams of meth.

Just sprinkled around the road. $1,714 in cash and two weight scales were concealed in a concealed compartment in the motorcycle. And one Alan Jackson CD. And an Alan Jackson CD was playing. That's all they heard when they pulled up to the scene. Who's cheating? Who? You know that quiet of a post-accident? There was that with Alan Jackson.

Also, small amount of meth on Nixon, the passenger in that. November 2012, they auction it off for good here. $1.725 million on his house, Jeremy's house. It's a disaster here. One of the bidders, by the way, it was told by a reporter, represented Ray Everham. Oh, shit. So he wanted to fuck him good. He wanted to come back and buy his house, like fucking shoot him a Gavin in happy Gilmore.

That's exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted a happy Gilmore. I'm going to have your grandma as my slave. Remember, as my slave. I forgot all about that. So later that month, Jeremy and Shanna are evicted from the house after it went into foreclosure. It's an unfinished home. They had built it and wanted to build it more.

So it's gone now. Hickory. That guy got a DUI, too, by the way. Shooter McGavin. Oh, I saw that. Yeah. Shooter. He didn't give his real name to the cop.

He told him, you don't know who I'm. I'm Shooter McGavin. I'm Shooter. That's me. I'm the guy. You don't remember that? Come on. James just did the fingers.

Just so everybody knows. You don't remember that? Come on. James just did the fingers. Just so everybody knows. January 9th, 2013, he calls into Motor Racing Network's live NASCAR radio show to talk to Brian France again. I fucking love it. He's a confrontational fuck. Oh, not this time.

No? He switched his whole shit around now. He wants a job. He's desperate. I just want to ask Brian if he's willing to accept the fact that I'd like to come back to racing. And if we can sit down and talk about it and figure out what we need to do to make that work. You're in your 40s, bro. Yeah.

France said, quote, well, Jeremy, you know the path back for you. It's the path back for anybody. And, you know, I've always hoped that you would choose the right path and not litigation and a bunch of other things. But that's up to you. And Mayfield says, OK, well, I appreciate that. I didn't mean to bother you on the show, but that's the only way I could get a hold of you. And I figured it'd be a great opportunity to do that. France says that he's welcome to complete the road to recovery program that NASCAR has.

They had to put a fucking pun in it. Yeah, road to fuck you in your wordplay. Yes. April 22nd, 2013. Mayfield is hit with two additional felony charges for possession of stolen goods from the raid. He plans to file motions to have the charges dismissed, but God knows if that's going to happen here. Where the hell does he live now? Like an extended stay hotel?

Jesus Christ. He probably lives in one of those trailers. That's all he could get. They also, so they hand him the indictments. He has to give another $30,000 secured bond because he's arrested on that. These indictments say that he's possessed items of value of more than $1,000, items of actual value from Lin Car

Investments LLC and B.R. Lee Industrial Properties LLC. This is plasma cutter, air filters, hydraulic fittings, stud welder, turbo air cleaners, cutting board, stop light, engraver, truck mirrors, bonding kits, lights, grease, and oil reels. That sounded like an ad for something. That sounded like an ad. That's what the shitty welder, turbo air cleaners, cutting board, stoplight, engraver, truck mirrors, bonding kits, lights, grease, and oil reels.

That sounded like an ad for something. That sounded like an ad. That's what the shit he stole. This is what we've got down here. This is what we've got. Come on down and steal it. Come on down and steal my shit. Now, April 2013, Mayfield unsuccessfully attempts to have the charges thrown out against him based on the fact that John Franklin is now dead and can't testify

against him. They're like, yeah, we have plenty of, he wrote it down. There's plenty. Don't worry. We got a diary. We got this. No, it's fine. It's all logged.

December 11th, 2013, the mansion that was auctioned off last year is to be burned to the ground this weekend. Yes. They're going to burn it to the ground. He was evicted, obviously. Channel 9 reporter says Dave Faraday, he was the only reporter allowed in the house to look around. It's kind of a mess now. It's a seven-bedroom, seven-bath house stripped down.

With no copper. Stripped down, they said, from the windows to the wiring. They stripped it down to burn it. The neighbors across the street, Chris and Crystal Shook. They said they watched it go downhill since Merritt and Mayfield bought the home. They said back in the day it looked pretty good. It was one of the best looking houses in the county and one of the biggest ones too.

In the county. You know you're a redneck when you use county. Not state, not city, not county. County. That's a redneck shit right there. Hazard County. Yeah. I don't know where Maricopa County ends.

Who the fuck knows? Who the fuck knows? Because you're in a city. I haven't got a clue. Here's the thing, though. He was out there blowing shit up. They're essentially going to blow up that house. They're burning it to the...

When has a house ever been demoed and been burned? I've never heard of that before. The fire chief, Donald Robinson, says it's burning it as a training exercise for the fire department. It's that sort of thing here. That's so crazy. Yeah. They don't want that.

The new owners want to rip it down and do something else with it anyway, so they're like, fuck it. The fire department's like, well, we could do some use with that. Yeah. They said, quote, everything we can do to better our training and skills, that's what we're going to do with this house. It's alive as is. Sounds good. It's a real house.

Mayfield said he had no plans to watch the home burn. No. No. Because he's going to cry. Well, he's got felony charges that he's got. I don't want to be in that county. No. He's like, no.

Also, there was scheduled rain, and it ends up raining and delaying it another week, the burning. Oh, Jesus. Going to let that house dry out. scheduled rain and it ends up raining and delaying it another week the burning he tagged the news station in a tweet jeremy and he said quote hate to see our previous residents burn down however i've always loved a good bonfire out of the ashes of phoenix will rise okay so i'm good now not you but a beautiful house that somebody else owns and pays for will yeah that's it right there so wow that's it he has this is still going he's got, he's a fucking disaster, obviously. He is now sitting God knows where in a fucking trailer somewhere going, can I come back to NASCAR?

I don't want to watch my house. You know there's an extended stay. You fucking know there's an extended stay. He's lived in one for several months before. And I feel like Shannon's like, it's okay. Yeah, yeah. It's fine. It's fine. She's like, I I'll put my home sweet home side here. I'm going to go out. I'm going to get us some groceries. They have that kitchenette. I'm going to make us a nice dinner. She goes out. She's gone for like three minutes. Knock back at the door. He's like fucking Shannon. We forgot her key. He opens the door and it's Dexter Manley, interior designer from New York City. And he says. How is it you've come to arrive here? Look at you.

You're all nasty. Look at you. Don't snort that. Don't snort that. I had a friend. I'm just going to tell you this right now for your own benefit. I had a friend. He used to do that a lot. OK. And let's just say it's going to hurt your thingy. I'm just going to tell you this right now for your own benefit. I had a friend. He used to do that a lot, okay?

And let's just say it's going to hurt your thingy. Let's just say that. I'm going to say Shanna's not going to like it because it didn't do him any favors. I don't know that from experience. Don't judge me because you don't know who I am or what I do. That's my business. I am Dexter Manley. Damn it.

I'm my own man, and no one will judge me for anything. Anyway, sir, I've become now, I'm going to tell you this. I've told other people this also, and I'm going to tell you this. I'm going to sit you down. Just sit down, honey. Come on, sweetheart. Sit down. You, sir, you're white trash. I'm sorry. You're just trash. You got Mountain Dew and you got Alan Jackson CDs coming out of everywhere. You're just white trash. Holy Christ. And I'm very sorry. Oh, I have to go now. Poof! And a poof of glitter and purple things.

He's gone. Dexter Manley, out of here. Quick. Dexter. Jesus, man. He's got a lot of energy, that Dexter Manley. I thought you were going to say he just became a life coach. He should be a life coach. I just became a life coach. I would listen to Dexter if he told me some shit that was wrong.

Listen, I'm not telling him to go away. He's a very educated fellow. He is. He knows things. He's from New York. He is. January 6, 2014, Jeremy faces all these. There's seven felony charges in all.

Stolen goods, property under false pretense, drug possession, you name it. Charges all carry about 20 years in prison if convicted here. He pleads guilty, though, to three misdemeanors, two for possession of stolen goods and one for possession of drug paraphernalia. Okay. So he pleads guilty to get a lower sentence here. He says to the judge, in their own words, quote, it's been tough. It's been something that's been held over us and we weren't able to move forward and move on with our lives. And that is something that was very important for us to do. Keep going and get it behind us. I'm

looking to start over with a fresh start. He says this in front of the judge and the judge says, you, sir, may fuck off, of yeah kind of yeah uh he sentences him to 45 days in jail which will be suspended as long as he doesn't violate his 18 month probation oh boy uh he also must pay 88 124 and 41 cents in restitution to the victims as well as 1100 in fines and court costs he's got so many judgments against him. Well, he does. He's got tons. This is an Alford plea is what he does, too.

He doesn't even plead guilty. They let him do a fucking Alford plea. I feel like it happened three years ago. They just wanted to get it over with. There's not enough evidence to convict. He admits there's enough evidence to convict but doesn't admit to the acts is what an Alford plea is in case you guys out there don't know. Prosecutors said that the death of James Franklin was most of the reason why they did a plea agreement because they didn't have their star witness.

You know, it wasn't it wasn't the same thing. They said, quote, the convictions were based on a number of factors, including conversations with the victims and law enforcement. In this in this case, the unavailability of the state's key witness due to his death and the likely result should see these cases have been presented to a jury without the witness. So it would have been bad here. He also faces, though, charges in two other counties also at the time, but they're talking about dropping those because he pled to this. They're kind of like, so can we just fucking everybody just calm down?

All right. It's one of those deal. He didn't comment. They asked him, where are you going to get the money to pay for the victims? And he had no comment for that because obviously he's not. He had to pay sixty thousand dollars on Monday afternoon. Holy shit. The court. I don't know where he got that. And he had to pay the supposed to pay the remainder of the next day. Wow. Twenty thousand dollars. Everything's all the goods have been returned to their owners. His lawyer said, quote, the only people who've been hurt by this, by Mr. Franklin's actions,

are going to be taken care of by Mr. Mayfield. So they said, all the people that Mr. Franklin fucked over. It's all him. It's all him. Jeremy's going to make it right. He's going to take care of it. He's a hero. He didn't do it.

He's a hero. He feels bad. He wants to get everything taken out and everything. He's a good guy. That's what it is. Deep down, Mayfield gives a shit. He cares, damn it. He fucking cares good guy. That's what it is. Deep down, Mayfield gives a shit. He cares, damn it. He fucking cares. Mayfield cares.

It may have been from Dexter changed his... That's what it is. I think it would have. Dexter turned his fucking life around. Turned it all around. How many times he does that? Got him out of a fucking extended stay. Dexter's one of my favorites. He really is. Mayfield here, like I said, he's got four counts of felony larceny in the other counties there, like I said, he's, uh, he's got four counts of felony larceny

in the other counties there. Uh, so Jesus Christ, it's fuck. He lives in, I feel bad for his wife a lot, dude. His wife fucking, she found him. She was a college kid that found like this. So hopeful. He's got a helmet and he's in a race car. He's looking cool.

Waving and shit. The parents are like, Ooh, he's successful. Now she's like in a trailer going, no, he doesn't do meth. Really? It's fine? Well, the stolen, he just borrowed it. And he doesn't do meth. It's cold medicine, I swear.

La, la, la, la. How much Xanax must she take? She is so sweet. Just to operate? Just to get through the day? Just to look at his toothless smile? Just to keep going? Jesus Christ.

You know his dad died fucking in a meth haze from him. I feel bad for all of these people, Jimmy. I feel bad for all of them, but not nearly as bad as I feel for Jeremy Mayfield. Wow. Senior enterprise architect at Alaska USA in Anchorage, Alaska. At least he's removed from the whole situation by the fucking entire continent. Some of them are. Let's see. Jeremy Mayfield, IT

director at American Cement Company, LLC in Orlando, Florida. That's getting pretty fucking close. Yeah, he went to Southern Illinois University, which I believe is the Salukis or some crazy shit like that. A bit too close to Kentucky. That's what I'm saying. Jeremy Mayfield,

senior database administrator at Regions Financial Corporation in Birmingham, Alabama. Again, in the South. You know I look for the South. He went to Jacksonville State University. And Jeremy Mayfield, whatever the fuck this is, Jeremy Mayfield, an independent fine art professional. What the fuck?

In Phoenix, Arizona. So I don't know where you are, Jeremy. He's a local artist. Come to our live show in March. Some guy that paints pictures down at First Fridays. That's a bullshit day. Apparently. And finally, last but not least, because this is my favorite, Jeremy Mayfield, a preacher

musician. Oh my God. In Tennessee. Oh my God. It says on the church that he goes to, the website here, it says, quote, Jeremy Mayfield is the husband of a fine woman named Jessie and the father of a trifecta of ridiculously cute kids named Levi, Abel, and Vera. Jeremy is a composer, arranger, and session musician. I was hoping that our Jeremy found God.

That's what I was hoping. No, no, no, no. That would have been another rule. That would have been amazing. He said he wants to return to racing again. He's saying that he didn't believe pleading guilty to the misdemeanor drug power finale should impact his ability to go through the program, the recovery program. He says, quote, I'm not sure what we're going to do now.

We're going to wake up tomorrow and figure it out. I'm not sure what I want to do yet. In some way, I want to race. I'm not sure that way yet to do yet. In some way, I want to race. I'm not sure that way yet. He says, I love racing. That is what I love to do and what I'd like to do. I'm just not sure to what extent or not even really sure

if that will be in our future. I'm not sure how that looks at the moment. 2014, he does a Reddit AMA. He basically just rails against NASCAR saying that they fucked him over. But he's willing to play the game with them now, even though they're fucking crooks. Right.

He does an hour long interview with the Sporting News's Bob Packrass in July 11, 2014. What a fucked last name. That's Packrass. It's got ass in it. Yeah. Right at the end there. You don't want that. Packrass.

Right. That's why I wrote. I was like, Packrass. Jesus. He says, I don't do the end there. You don't want that. Pock-rass. That's why I wrote it. I was like, pock-rass? Jesus. He says, I don't do drugs for sure. I don't drink. What he means is, I can't afford drugs. I can't do drugs.

I'll make my own, though, if you've got any Sudafed that I can borrow. May I check your medicine cabinet? Is that possible? That's so great. He said, I might have a couple of beers a year, maybe. I don't steal. I haven't broken into any buildings and stole race car parts and stuff. He just basically said the opposite of what he does.

I'm not a male white guy who's from Kentucky. I'm not this. He just, all the things I've done, I don't do any of those things. Yeah, Jesus Christ. He, again, talks about the false positive. He won't admit that he just did fucking meth. You're right. He says, though, he's doing it for,

he's doing it because it's what's right. It's what's right to be suspended and go with it. And he says, quote, the easy road would have been, okay, yeah, I'll do your road to recovery, Dr. Black, and I will go to your rehab. But I just don't believe that's right. And I still don't believe it's right. I don't feel like I did anything wrong,

and I still don't today, goddammit. He's the only driver who's ever been suspended and refused to go through the program. That's the other thing. Everybody else was like, yeah, no problem. We'll take care of it. Wow, man. That's what meth does to you. Kids, don't do meth.

This idiot is what happens here. Never do meth. He's got, he says, quote, you've got to stand up for what you believe in. If you don't, you're not American anymore. What the fuck are you talking about? You know what? He's got a point. You've got to fight for your right to do meth.

If you don't do meth, steal, and deny all of your faults to your dying breath, you're not American. He's got a fucking point. He starts a website to tell his side of the story. It is J2mayfield.com, and it's now somebody trying to sell you loan management software. It's not him at all anymore. He lost the website and couldn't pay the re-up.

What is the importance of a loan management software? Loan management software is a relatively new development in the business of borrowing and lending, blah, blah, blah, blah. You get the point. It's not Jeremy Mayfield. He did not write that shit. October 9th, 2014, Jeremy is running Dirt Late Models.

He is driving. He is in North Carolina, in Denver, North Carolina. Yeah, back there. The good Denver, I guess. No, it's not Denver. Colorado is beautiful. He will field a Dirt Late Model operation is what he's doing. He's been back on the short tracks with open-wheel modified race cars all around the Carolinas.

The Aaron Thomas-owned team has support from NASCAR elites and other people, too, and everybody seems to be okay with this. He's quoted as saying he's received guidance from Jonathan Davenport. I guess that's somebody who knows shit about racing on dirt. He has an ultimate goal of racing with the Lucas Oil Series full time. Mayfield's dirt late model is adorned with the, quote, take it back campaign. Get out of here. Take it back, which references the fact that he's taking back his life and overall love of racing. Ridiculous.

That's what he says. all love of racing is what he says. October 2015, he's supposed to, he competes in a Kingsport Speedway Fright Night 300 in October. I assume it's a Halloween thing. He's scheduled to take part in a bunch of races here. Now, I found March 10th, 2017, my eyes lit up because I found a Jeremy Allen Mayfield, a Jeremy Allen Mayfield in Kentucky, of all places, that was arrested. And finds himself in jail after being taken into custody this week by the sheriff's department.

Jeremy Allen Mayfield is charged with a Class A felony count of domestic abuse involving serious physical injury and Class B felony count of abuse or neglect of a child. I was like, oh, shit, he's escalating. Then it says this guy's 28 years old. Damn it. I'm like, fuck, it's not him. So I'm glad for Shanna and their kid. They don't have a kid, but I'm glad for Shanna that it's not him. But, yeah, apparently this happened sometime around March 2nd of this year.

Bond for this guy was set at $500,000. Wow. Which seems like a fucking lot. That seems like he beat the shit out of a kid. Bad. Can't get enough of Jeremy Mayfield? No, I sure can't. Follow him on Twitter at J2Mayfield, at J2Mayfield there and all the other social media.

It's basically people tweeting at him race shit and him going, yep, I know. Can't wait. I want to get out there. That's great. That's a beautiful car. If you can't get enough even more, you can go to Amazon.com and pick up the Revell Kmart Kids Race Against Drugs minicast. Get out of here.

It's a Jeremy Mayfield. Say no to drugs car. Number 37. Wow. Right on the hood. It says, Kids Race Against Drugs. Wow. Giant thing.

That's a great fucking car the irony is just beautiful that's fantastic oh that's so great i saw that i was like oh my god that's got to be kidding oh it's so great it's so perfect you can't ask for anything better than that's like jason williams being like the nra is a bad organization yeah. Jesus. That's incredible. iCollector.com. You can get a Mayfield 98 car for $5 there. eBay, a Revel 124th scale model, number 12 car. It's a bank set, actually, too. There's a little car and a bank of the same car, $24.95. And of course, tons and

tons and tons and tons of Mayfield redneck lawn shirts. Tons of shirts that rednecks wear while mowing the lawn. Tons. Oh, cars and things and fashion and beer. Redneck lawn shirt. Someone's going to get it, cut the sleeves off, and hit that fucking yard work like nobody's business. And it's got a big fucking car on it. Comes with a beer koozie. Yeah, no doubt.

You know, that sort of thing. That is Jeremy Mayfield. My Christ. What a fucking disaster. So much meth. So much meth. fucking car on it comes with a beer koozie yeah that sort of thing uh that is jeremy mayfield my christ what a fucking disaster so much meth so much meth such a disaster stops it's just he's just an asshole and it's just that was just the the turmoil of a white trash lifestyle that's all that was right there and i'm i'm so white trash and and i'm almost almost i'm almost embarrassed for him almost embarrassed for my family to to enjoy that that sport and that life you've never sued and then been counter-sued by your stepmom so i think you're okay or the mailman for getting bit by my fucking five free-range rottweilers your wasted stepmother didn't have to be dragged from your property

by police while kicking my gardener in the pussy. I was just going to say, not in the gardener, while kicking my gardener's wife in the pussy. And calling them fucking racial slurs. And calling them slants. It was terrible. You know Slope came out of it. Oh, yeah, you know it. That's definitely the one. It was either that or like Garden N-word or something.

You know what I mean? It was something horrible. I wish they would have put in the documents exactly which word she's racial slurs racial slurs i mean granted it doesn't matter what she said except for the except for the the humor of it because it's hysterical when somebody's angry and just screaming fucking racial slurs because it's just them swinging wildly because they have zero incompetent zero competency competency. I was going to call them incompetency, but they actually don't know what to say. They have a ton. I have incompetence.

They have zero competency to be able to string together an insult that actually stings. So they just throw out their fucking desperation Hail Mary.

The one that did the Yoo-Hoo fudgicle thing. And I wanted to correct that. She pointed it out to me, by the way, I'm not a trucker. And I was like, I know that, because I've seen that you're an EMT.
