Jeremy Mayfield: Bill Davis Racing
built 608 days ago
Jeremy Mayfield has dealt with a lot of changes lately. In the middle of 2006, public criticism of his car owner led to his termination from the No. 19 car at Evernham Motorsports. Suddenly without a full-time Cup ride, the 37-year-old driver agreed to pilot the No. 36 360 OTC Camry for Bill Davis Racing in 2007. But things didn’t work out, as Mayfield missed 19 races due to NASCAR’s top 35 qualifying rule. The two-time Chase participant had taken a major step backward.

Mayfield's team expects 'big penalties' from infraction UPDATE: Joe Lax, crew chief for Jeremy Mayfield's #36 Toyota, is expecting a significant penalty after his team got caught putting illegal weight in the car. In pre-qualifying inspection Friday at California Speedway, Mayfield's Bill Davis Racing car was found to have too much camber in the rear end. The team fixed the problem, which requires taking a blowtorch to the rear of the car, and went back through the inspection line, but the car was found to be too light on the right side. Then, in a moment of desperation, a team member stuck a piece of lead inside the water bottle to add the extra weight. But NASCAR discovered the illegal trick, which is considered tampering with the car.(SceneDaily.com)(9-1-2007)

In 2007, Mayfield signed with Bill Davis Racing. Together they took on the dauntless task of building a new team along with teaming with Toyota in their inaugural season in the Nextel/Sprint Cup Series. It was a monumental event since it marked the first time in history of the series that a manufacturer outside the United States would compete full time in the top racing series.
