CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR was still analyzing Jeremy Mayfield’s latest drug test Friday, four days after demanding the driver submit to a random test.
“The process continues,” NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said, declining further comment.
Dr. David Black, the program administrator, said Wednesday the test would be completed by Friday at the latest.
“I just don’t think there’s anything to report right now. I did not come to work (Friday) expecting we’d get the results,” Mayfield attorney John Buric said. “But then again, I’m a lawyer, and I can wait a year for a ruling. So I am never too surprised when things take time. I wouldn’t read too much into it, honestly.”
NASCAR suspended Mayfield on May 9 after he failed a random drug test eight days earlier. NASCAR has said the 40-year-old driver tested positive for methamphetamine, but Mayfield has denied ever using the illegal drug.
