Finley named #36 crew chief... many addtions to organization: Bill Davis Racing (BDR) announced that Derrick Finley will serve as crew chief for the #36 OTC 360 team and driver Jeremy Mayfield. In addition, the team has added several key employees to its organization. Finley, 35, began his tenure at Bill Davis Racing near the end of the 2003 season and was chosen to become the crew chief of the #22 Caterpillar team for the final two races of the 2004 campaign. Finley spent 2005 calling the shots for that team before moving to the #55 [Michael Waltrip] team for the 2006 season. Midway through 2006, Finley returned to his engineering roots and became a key part of both the #55 and #22 teams' efforts. Finley will pair up with veteran driver Jeremy Mayfield in 2007.

In 2002, Mayfield signed to Evernham Motorsports, replacing Casey Atwood. In his first year, Mayfield had just four top-tens and finished 26th in points, ironically the same spot Atwood had finished the year before. He rebounded some in 2003, winning the pole at the Aaron's 499 and posting 12 top-tens, finishing nineteenth in points. Finally in 2004, Mayfield returned to victory lane at the Chevy Rock and Roll 400 earning his team the 9th spot in the inaugural Chase for the Cup, and finished tenth in points. In 2005, he won the GFS Marketplace 400, and finished ninth in the standings. In August of 2006 he was released from Evernham after his team fell out of the top-35 in owner points, and replaced by Bill Elliott and then Elliott Sadler.

Mayfield returned to the Kranefuss team in 1997. He had eight top tens, including two fifth-place runs, and finished a then career-high 13th place in points. After the season, Kranefuss sold part of the team to Penske Racing South, and the team's identity was switched, with a new number (#12) and new sponsor in Mobil 1. Mayfield took the points lead early in the season, and won his first career race at the Pocono 500. At the end of the season, he was seventh in points. He was unable to replicate his success in 1999, and dropped four spots in the standings, despite twelve top-tens.

"CHANGING NUMBERS: No, Jeremy Mayfield hasn't enrolled in the Robby Gordon Driver Protection Program. Mayfield is no longer in car No. 37. Roger Penske, who owns Rusty Wallace's No. 2 team, bought half-interest in Mayfield's team and the car is being changed to No. 12"(Charlotte Observer)(2-3-98)

Mayfield again qualified for the Chase in 2005, marking the second consecutive year he represented the Evernham Motorsports Dodge team in the championship hunt. He went on to finish ninth in the final points tally, marking the third time in his career he walked on the stage at NASCAR’s awards ceremony at the end of the season. Even with the success of the previous two seasons, 2006 was the beginning of a rebuilding year for Mayfield and his Evernham team following a switch of key team members within the organization. After struggling to find the right combination, Mayfield left the team in 2006 to pursue other opportunities.
