Jeremy Mayfield's Garage: The Car That Rattled Dale Earnhardt's Cage & Redneck Shenanigans

My opinion of Jeremy Mayfield has never changed, NASCAR did him dirty, plain and simple, I’ve always been a fan

[@PaperBanjo64]

I was always suspicious NASCAR did him wrong the evidence NASCAR put forth and what Jeremy said didn't match up, and third parties agreed with Jeremy not NASCAR.

[@elliottardif4137]

A few thoughts. First, thank you for taking the time to think of Jeremy and make this video of him. This was really well done and I love how you get into some of the technicals and details of the cars themselves. Second, I’ve been a Mayfield fan since 1996, so almost 30 years now. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting not only Jeremy and his wife Shana many times, but both of their families, their friends, employees, members of Jeremy’s race teams, and sponsors, at environments both in and out of the racetrack, and have had the privilege of being an invited guest to his home/shop a few times over the years, including to this one you filmed here. What you captured in this video is Jeremy as he is every day - fun-loving, a rapid-fire idea machine, a walking Wikipedia of memories stories and opinions on just about anything under the sun, decent, and caring (especially for his animals; he and Shana rescued and raised dozens of animals of all kinds on their old farm many years ago). Jeremy rolling someone into a lake, funny as it is, is nothing new for him - look up “Jeremy Mayfield Airboat” and you’ll see what I mean. So when you say at the end of the video, ‘anytime I’ve hung out with Jeremy he’s been super cool,’ that’s him - front, back and all the pages between. Which brings me to my last point. You talked about the controversy behind his name, namely all that happened between 2009 and 2014. For me, as a fan of his, it was an extraordinarily difficult experience. Being Jeremy, Shana, or anyone close to him during that time? It was hell. It was the same trauma as being in a car wreck that lasted for five years. For this reason, I carefully considered what was being said about him and whether any of it was factual, because if it was then I would have told him to stop it and get help. Many words into few: the only conclusion I’ve arrived at is that Jeremy was right. If you watched the Katt Williams appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast, a lie is something someone says that nobody’s heard before. Jim Hunter’s words at Darlington in May 2009, then everything that came after, was that very thing - not only to his fans, family and friends, but to the hundreds of people in the nine different race teams (his own team included) who he drove for in the 2000s, and the garage writ large. When Jeremy’s legal issues were concluded in early 2014, he was racing again and creating content under the J2Mayfield project by that spring, and he’s been racing consistently in one series or another since then, including the GNSS the last two years. The garage speaks for itself - they believe Jeremy’s record, not this lie that’s been backed by big money and not a whisper of truth. So in conclusion: this video? This is Jeremy, this is his record, who he really is and has always been. The more things change, the more they (well, Jeremy at least) stay the same - I’m really happy to say that in this case. Thanks again for making it and best wishes on breaking into GNSS soon. Cheers!

Man I've always been a fan of Jeremy. I met him at a publix grocery store here in FL. 15 mins west of Daytona International Speedway in 2000 right after he moved Earnhardt out of the way. He signed the magazine cover that had that bump and run on it. Definitely one of the nicest/chill driver I've ever met. Also got to meet Terry Labonte, Bobby Hamilton, Adam Petty (6 months before he died) and many others. I remember drivers signing autographs there for 4-5 years.

Loved this video!. You know back when Jeremy was racing cup I was never a fan, but since seeing this it changed my whole opinion on him. It just goes to show that when you see interviews of drivers while they're involved in cup and you form an opinion based on that you kinda base it on very limited information and since you do only see that side, it's a very flawed interpretation of who they really are. I can say I'm a fan now. He seems like someone who is fun to be around and always keeps you laughing, a very down to earth and good hearted fella.

What a fun video! I don't know what was funnier, the red bulldog or his buddy rolling down that hill in a ball, lol. I also learned more about nascar racing in general. For example, I never knew the exhaust could actually play a role in how the car handled. And how making the lightest body possible, in order to bring it back up to weight using led that is strategically located to give an advantage in handling. I already knew about the led.......but I didn't know the "body weight to led ratio". I've always thought Jeremy was a great guy. Thanks guys, and thank you Jeremy for inviting us into your place.

[@DaleTerry]

I went back and watched the video of Jeremy's win and that seems to be the right body! That car should be in a museum

[@StevenWatters]

Just realized that you're gonna compete against a legend like Jeremy Mayfield. Same series too, that's amazing! ❤

[@Stapleton42]

Yes sir!

[@jdhaase1417]

Can’t wait to watch this one! I was in the stands at KMS back when Jeremy raced late models and he and Dave Kulmer got together off turn 4 and Dave went outside turn 1 wall in a flat spin and clipped telephone pole mid air!

[@jerrodminton1736]

I remember watching Jeremy race at kentucky Motor Speedway in whitesville, Ky, when I was around 6 yrs old. It was awesome to see him make it in Nascar. He never got the credit he deserved. Always fast and one heck of a driver.

[@Wayne_D92]

Man Jeremy sounds like he’d be tons of fun to hang out with

[@Stapleton42]

He is by our experience so far!

[@johnlarusta4528]

Sounds like he has no teeth just oversized dentures.

[@johnvirga6181]

Nascar may have not been open about their actions but there is always this about him - Mayfield pleading to two counts of misdemeanor possession of stolen property and one count possession of drug paraphernalia in 2014. Smoke there is fire. Yeah a ton of fun smh...............

[@errolflynn4984]

Your mind is broken. You can’t get passed your initial thought - and you still can’t see that the NASCAR halo is slipping. They screwed Jeremy🤷‍♂️didn’t you read anything? Is the guy in the video a method head - I don’t think so Sunshine! He appears to be the same good ol boy he always was. Go Jeremy 🏁 There is still a legion of fans standing with and behind you👏👏

[@johnvirga6181]

@@errolflynn4984 They may have but Mayfield has a record for possession of stolen property and drug paraphernalia, he did that to himself. Dont you read anything?

[@carlmccoy5146]

Mayfield is the best! Love to listen to him. And definitely will watch and support him!

[@colebertils7359]

While I wasn’t a fan of Jeremy back then, thanks to this video, I sure am now. While I didn’t understand what happened to his career, judging by the comments here, it wasn’t right. But I would love to see him racing again with other names from his generation. Thanks for having him on!

[@Stapleton42]

Thank you Cole!

[@jwilson5072]

I would love to spend a couple of days with Jeremy and his shop helping him prep his car for the next race that would be so cool

[@coletrickle-km7cl]

So cool he has his winning mobile 1 Taurus. Gotta do a video of him driving it once he gets it back to track ready status.

[@richardsoutdoorworld5284]

I never was a Mayfield fan when he raced ..... but I am a fan of the ordinary Mayfield I seen in this video , seemed to be very nice guy and is kind to animals !

[@Stapleton42]

Very!

[@beavismarket]

I'm of the opinion southern culture is precisely what Nascar is missing today. The competition is better than ever. But we greatly need flavor back in the sport. Fantastic video. Did enjoy.

[@PaperBanjo64]

I agree, they gentrified it, needs that old southern soul back and stop trying to get Californians watching who will force NASCAR (and have) to change.

Jeremy Mayfield Was NASCAR Winston Cup Series Crew Member From The Early 90s Number 95 Kentucky Fried Chicken Chevrolet Lumina Thanks For Uploading

[@MechanicalMafioso]

That’s great calling him out on the Headlight Decals! 😂 👌

[@Stapleton42]

I had to help him out 😂

[@psinclairjr]

That was funny, he loves that you noticed. Only a real dyed in the wool car/NASCAR guy would notice that

[@JayAyBee]

You asked if this video changed my perspective of Jeremy Mayfield.. My answer is no: I've always liked him and thought NASCAR pulled some funny business back in the day... Wishing him and you guys nothing but the best

[@lynstevens7928]

Jeremy is a awesome racer and always will be one the true nascar racers and still is now. Awesome guy

[@Bigmikecrewchief43]

I always liked Jeremy Mayfield I feel like he got dealt a dirty hand in his NASCAR career good to see him doing well I'd love to see him get that new dirt late model done

[@ryanfolks6024]

Definitely on Team Jeremy! I think you guys should get some more cars ready. I wonder what's gonna happen with NASCAR, the law suits, etc. The Grand National Series isn't owned by NASCAR and might be a great place for NASCAR drivers to go should they "depart" the series for whatever reason.

[@KillerGrubwithMarkBagley]

Very cool, I remember watching Jeremy race but I don't actually remember why he stopped racing. I always enjoyed seeing him racing and thought he was a great talent. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you race in the same series with him that will be so cool. Another great video y'all. Thank you!

[@Stapleton42]

thanks mark! the first video of that will be coming in the next few days!

[@orangegrowers]

Your Pittsburgh roots came out when you calls those bushes jagger bushes. Only in Pittsburgh. Love it.

[@Stapleton42]

I made a comment about that in our Spartanburg history video asking what people call them and to say where they're from. There were a few other places that called them jagger bushes too! I was surprised.

[@rolandl.beauvaisjr.668]

I’ve always thought that Jeremy Mayfield got a raw deal but I’ve always liked them and after watching this video he’s just a normal guy doing every day things and having fun doing it, but for some reason, he was weeded out or pushed out by Nascar. Keep up the good work.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man. Jeremy is a cool guy

[@johnvirga6181]

Other than that little thing? Mayfield pleading to two counts of misdemeanor possession of stolen property and one count possession of drug paraphernalia in 2014.

[@Flyingwrenchenches93]

That man has a vision for a series that would bring back ALL the good old day factors. Give him a million dollars and say. Create a series and a field of drivers.

[@ValorMotorsports]

The story about Logan and the middle finger is cool. How has your deals getting race parts gone for you? I dealt with a fella named Scott Bachand that ran Busch North in the back consistently. He absolutely put the screws to me on a Dale Shaw chassis a Coyote racing kart with only 3 races on it. He worked for Cellular One when they were the top dog in cell service. I asked for a cell phone with a year of service. He didn't do a thing to make it right. You have the channel to guarantee that deals are solid.

[@milemonster9098]

Awesome vid. Definitely more Mayfield. He was a clean driver & was great on the microphone. The Earnhardt pass was epic. I've been following him in the GNSS. It's cool having that to watch on a Saturday night. 👍

[@Stapleton42]

I am glad you're enjoying the GNSS!

[@milemonster9098]

@@Stapleton42 💯 I've been following him since the old days in NASCAR & again when he started in GNSS. I hardly ever watch NASCAR anymore but my KZbin alert goes off on a Saturday night & it's time to watch Mayfield. I love it, it's great racing. Good luck next year. Me & my boys look forward to seeing you compete. Tell Mayfield he got screwed & we love him up here in Massachusetts.

[@Pwg1985]

I’ll be honest. He needs to start a podcast and tell old racing stories. I would love to hear different stories or even talking to other drivers. Turn that ole shop in to a studio and talk about his races

[@Stapleton42]

I agree

what a Good fun loving Guy the world needs more people like this in it . I.would also like to see the retired cup drivers in a little race series

Great video. Didn’t realize Mayfield was such a good dude. He is someone that would be awesome to hang out with. Hopefully NASCAR and him can mend the broken fences.
