Mark Martin got a second chance in NASCAR, and man alive, did he take full advantage of it. [Scene Daily]

Now we know where Mayfield got his drugs from or is the other way around? That could explain why NASCAR came down heavy on Mayfield and is pulling out all the stops to keep him out.

But Frevic, who supplied the drugs??? JC or JM? Seeing as how JC is a France, you know he's around the tracks. Then with him being from Florida, he would have easier access to any kind of drug needed/used by both. Especially during Bike Week. And let's not forget about the France fortune.

Oh man, I just read that article about France being arrested for what appeared to be a white cakey substance. That's so rich.
Jay, where is your Methfield France connection post? Was Jeremy really banned because he was selling to France and was cutting too much?

Shawn - What a two faced hypocrite you are. If you were true to the rants that you keep throwing at us, you wouldn't be following and rooting for Arkansas Mark Martin. Nascar is such a racist organization, according to to you, that you should have nothing to do with it. Since you do, you prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you are a hypocrite that can't even stand up for the things that you claim you believe.

Rudy, Amen brother. I don't really think Shawn actually exists. I think he's some white kid with too much time on his hands, so he likes messing with people. Too much time on the Nascar blog to be a thug brother. They don't give a hoot about Nascar anyway!! What do you think?

Anthony. My thoughts have leaned in that direction also. Regardless of whom he is, He is pretty ignorant.

Rudy, Believe me he will wear you down after awhile. Geosa Student is another one that is a made up character who has written under several names.

When Mark was let go by Roush he drove the #1 car and didn't win a thing. He then gets into the #5 car and Shazam! Mark is better then Johnson, Gordon, Kyle or Carl? I'm not sure but maybe the Hendricks team and NASCAR have a "special" inspection for the #5 team, Or Jack must be kicking himself for the bad decision of letting Mark go.
When the France Family gets out of bed in the morning they have to do it slowly as not to wake Hendricks.

Tell you what, Rudy; the reason why Shawn has so much time is b/c he's an old fart like you! (LOL j/k) He mentioned grandson one day, so that would be why he's not out running with the gangs. Grandson doing it for him.
