Mayfield Not On Early Chicago Entry List

NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield's name isn't on the entry list for Saturday's race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Mayfield, whose drug suspension was overturned by a federal judge last week, still could attempt to qualify for the race.

Under NASCAR rules, teams have until one hour before the first practice to register. That gives Mayfield until Thursday afternoon, but he would have to pay a penalty. Mayfield admitted in court filings that his Mayfield Motorsports team is struggling financially.

He also could make the race if hired to drive for another team. NASCAR suspended Mayfield on May 9 after a failed random drug test and said he tested positive for methamphetamine.
