Jeremy Mayfield continued to deny, on Sturday, that he took a substance that violated NASCAR’s substance abuse policy. He said that he plans to do whatever he feels he must do to counter his indefinite suspension, even if that means going to court.

Mayfield, who was speaking publicly for the first time since the suspension was announced last Saturday, denied he took an banned substance and maintained that his positive drug test came from combining two over-the-counter Claritin products with a prescription drug.

“I’m going to move as quickly as I can,” Mayfield said on Saturday night. “Yeah, I’m denying it. Illegal drugs? Yeah, definitely.”

The 39-year-old driver said he does not plan to go through the rehab process NASCAR mandates is necessary for reinstatement into the sport.

“Why would I?” Mayfield said.
