Wow. A judge has suspended Jeremy Mayfield’s NASCAR suspension. In other words, Mayfield is free to race this weekend, if he can come up with a car.

I’m somewhat surprised, especially with the judge saying that the “harm to Mr. Mayfield significantly outweighs the harm to NASCAR.” Does this judge not realize that an impaired driver going 200 miles per hour is “harmful” to the other drivers?

I mean, shouldn’t the error be on the side of safety?

I honestly hope that Mayfield’s test was a “false positive”.  But if he goes to Daytona and tests positive again, then he might as well hang up his helmet.
