NASCAR SEEKS TO DENY MAYFIELD'S LAWYERS INFO FROM FRANCE'S EX-WIFE
Jeremy Mayfield's lawyers are trying to collect information from a lawsuit Brian France filed against his ex-wife Megan in 2008. And in what is mostly likely not a coincidence, they have chosen Dec. 4 - the day of the Sprint Cup banquet - to depose France's ex-wife. The Frances were divorced in April 2008. Brian France sued his ex-wife in North Carolina Superior Court in September 2008. NASCAR has asked a federal court to block Mayfield's request for the information and is asking the court to move the deposition to later in the month. Per Scene Daily:
Mayfield’s attorneys issued a subpoena to Megan France last Friday requesting those documents as well as any joint tax returns for 2007 and 2008 and any mail addressed to Brian France in North Carolina. The reason stated for the request has to do with whether the federal court has jurisdiction or whether it should return the case to state court, according to NASCAR’s motion.
The contents of the civil suit between the Frances have been blocked from the public. The Charlotte Observer is calling for the contents of the case to be made public.

Talk about double standards, hey, Na$car wrote the book on that. Its time to
bring the Frances down, if its fair for them to go after any personal information on Jeremy, they why can't he do the same. He is fighting to clear his good name, the France family has more dirty laundry to air than Jeremy. I am sick of reading all the lies and sick of the people who believe all of Na$car's lies and dirty deals.
No one is paying me to come here: I don't want Jeremy Mayfield on the track. He has tested positive for meth TWICE and has no good explanation other than "they are out to get me." That is dangerous. The only person ruining Mayfield's life is Mayfield. He was given a roadmap back to NASCAR: admit his problem, attend rehab, and he could re-enter the sport. Like most users he would rather use. Until he hits rock bottom that will continue to be his choice. I don't like Brian France, and I dont like the changes in the sport. But I give a lot of credit to NASCAR for putting in place a top-quality drug testing program, one that has caught many users this year, including Jeremy Mayfield. The Wall Street Journal just did a huge story on all the drug policies of all major sports and ranked NASCAR highest of any American sport. Unlike you, I have taken the time to read the court documents and I can tell you: Mayfield doesn't have a leg to stand on. There are more than a DOZEN witnesses who have all agreed to testify that they have seen him buy, make, and do meth. The science behind his postiive tests is rock solid. You can sit there and say it isn't, but you haven't read the documents. They will be shown to a jury, and all the bull garbage about Brian France ruiniing NASCAR and targeting specific drivers will never hear the light of day in court because it is baseless drivel.
I've read all the documents from both sides...Jeremy has several Police officers and Sheriffs also for his credibility. But those documents are a little harder to find of course because there pushed to the side because of Nascar NOT wanting the public to see.
Andre Agassi....how nice of you to come and tell us a bunch of stuff about your drug usage...most of us are NOT interested in it. Actually ,it isn't even funny. I don't care what you did/done with your life and drugs...just had a thought...how much is nascrap paying you to come here and type your crap? See, we don't think it's funny. Our driver is being accused of doing the crap that you are laughing about.. and are making money hand over fist when people buy your book. It's not funny. Just like the stupid,person that runs nascrap. It's so easy for all you people that aren't Jeremy fans, to come here or whatever forum, and type your statements about Jeremy using drugs...I know Jeremy and his wife personally. They are not druggie people. All Jeremy wants to do is race, and the stupid one let a wrong drug test hit the airways, because nascrap is never wrong,but it's ok to ruin the life of my driver. I will tell you, Jeremy will win this case against the so called powers that be. There must be some good, damaging stuff that is sealed up, that Stupid, don't want me,or everybody else to read.nascrap has been ruined by greed, money you do it my way, or hit the highway... rules, rules that are rewritten for the next race,, and gribby paws after money,etc...but you think it's ok to ruin Jeremy's life? I know there will be more people on here with much better come backs to you, but I just had to say how I feel about all of this..'Jeremy is not a druggie, he does not even think of dong such a thing, Jeremy is very well thought of by his true fans, and there are a lot more people coming over to his side.Jeremy will win his case, for he is innocent.Jeremy and Shana are AWESOME, that's more than what I can say about nascrap.
I disagree Andre. BZF is not JUST an officer in a corporation. He's much more than that as far as Nascar and ISC are concerned. Also, he is subject to the same drug testing rules as Mayfield and anyone else doing business with Nascar. Instead of dismembering hookers, what if those divorce papers prove he has been buying and selling influence, or making illegal deals that actually impact the buisness (as it sure isn't a sport anymore)? Or that he's been targeting certain, non top tier drivers, or aANYTHING else illegal that actually impacts his family's business. Any of the above, as well as your proposed scenario brings into question his CREDIBILITY as well as his veracity. That would also impact his deal with Dr. Black and Aegis Labs.
You are wrong - it is not pertinent to the case at all. Let's say for example that there are accusations by his ex-wife in the case that Brian France had a secret habit of getting high on heroin, kidnapping hookers, torturing them, and then dismembering them. In fact, let's even say that Brian France's ex-wife had a videotape of him doing exactly the above, and it is on the record in the divorce case. Well, guess what: The court isn't doing to allow it, because it doesn't make it more or less likely that Mayfield's anonymous sample was a positive. It is totally irrelevant to the case. It might be pretty darn embarrassing for Brian France, but the very worst thing that could happen would be Brian France would have to step down from NASCAR.... and Jeremy Mayfield would then still have a positive test to answer for. You see, Brian France is just an officer in a corporation that hired Aegis labs to conduct testing, and of the many samples Aegis identified as positive, including many samples of NASCAR crew members this year, one of them happened to belong to Jeremy Mayfield. Now, Mayfield may claim the sample wasn't kept sterile, or the testing process was inaccurate, or that the samples were mixed up and the chain of custody was broken, etc... but he cannot go into court and argue that Brian France does really bad things in his free time and therefore he shouldn't have to abide by NASCAR drug policy. It doesn't work that way, which is why Mayfield is on a wild goose chase that will not be allowed to go further by the court.
With the penchant the France Family and its Nascar minions have for telling lies about the people they consider rebels (Tim Richmond is a perfect example), I don't know why anyone can't at least keep an open mind about this case. What could possibly be in those divorce papers that France paid good money to get them sealed? No one cares about dalliances anymore, so adultery doesn't come into play. If it's about criminal acts, then that information is certainly pertinent to this case.
Let's see. Brian France was divorced at the end of 2008. He sued his ex-wife in 2008. The case was closed and sealed in December 2008.
Jeremy Mayfield tested positive for meth twice, on two different dates, in the late spring of 2009.
Given the above facts, it is hard to imagine any court would let Mayfield continue on his scavenger hunt.
Hi, this is Andre Agassi. You may know me from my tennis career, countless commercials, and fashion spreads in magazines. But when I wasn't dazzling folks with my good looks and super-clean-cut image, I was smoking meth in my hotel room day and night. You can read about it all in my new book.
I was just hanging out today with my good buddy Theoren Fleury. You may remember him as the star of the New York Islanders hockey team. His new book talks about how he was cranked out of his mind on meth during his playing days yet no one realized it, either.
Anyway, we were just sitting around talking about our days as top famous athletes who did meth and we were laughing up a storm about all the people who defended us over the years. Anyway, we finally stopped cracking up long enough to call up our good buddy Jeremy Mayfield.
You see, Jeremy is doing it all wrong. He shouldn't be denying the meth. He should be admitting it. After all, he's never going to be a big lucrative book deal, a Barbara Walters interview, or a TV movie made about his life if he keeps denying it. He should fess up and tell everyone just how much meth he did, just like I did, Andre Agassi. Hey, it worked for me. Mayfield is missing out on millions. Nobody likes a liar, but we all love a good meth story. Meth stories sell books.
Can someone explain how this is relevant to whether or not Mayfield was on drugs or not on drugs? Can you imagine an Olympian testing positive for drugs, losing his gold medal, and then trying to sue the IOC to find out if there is any dirt between the president of the sanctioning organization and the woman he divorced years before you tested positive? It is ridiculous and shows just how low Mayfield will stoop to continue being a user.
