Jeremy MayfieldOn Wednesday a federal judge lifted Jeremy Mayfield’s indefinite suspension by NASCAR and is cleared to race this weekend at Daytona. The judge said “The likelihood of a false positive in this case is quite substantial.”

Mayfield’s lawyer said “If Mayfield used the drug at the levels NASCAR has suggested, would be “either a walking zombie or he’s dead.”
