NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamine again this past week, even as Mayfield continues to insist that he isn’t taking the drug.

In court filings logged today as part of Mayfield’s protest to overturn his recent suspension, NASCAR said that Mayfield failed a drug test back on July 6th…this is in addition to the test he flunked in May.  The document says that the urine sample collected on July 6th “conclusively” proved that Mayfield had been taking meth.

NASCAR went on to file an affidavit from Mayfield’s stepmother, Lisa Mayfield, asserting that she personally witnessed him using methamphetamine at least 30 times over a seven year period. Lisa Mayfield also said that in 1999 she witnessed Jeremy Mayfield use the drug before a race at Darlington Raceway.

“I was concerned about his heavy use and talked to his father about it,” the statement read. “I saw Jeremy use methamphetamine by snorting it up his nose at least 30 times during the seven years I was around him.”

Mayfield, of course, still insists that the tests are inaccurate: “I don’t trust anything NASCAR does, anything (program administrator) Dr. David Black does, never have, never will.”
