This storyline may be over before it ever really began.
Overshadowed by the Dale Earnhardt, Jr./Tony Eury, Jr. saga, was the simple notification on J.J. Yeley’s website saying that he and Mayfield Motorsports will not be running this weekend in Dover. No word was given for why specifically, but surely it’s not easy to attract new sponsors to a team helmed by a driver accused of violating drug policy. The only two sponsors Mayfield had previously were the All Sport family of companies, of which CEO Gary Smith is still supposed to be a part owner, and that SmallSponsor.com, which was only running a one-month campaign, far as I know. So, the question is whether All Sport has backed out at this point of the venture or not. If so, that will likely be the end of the team altogether, but that hasn’t been verified yet. Jayski also said that Mayfield Motorsports sent all their employees home early on Tuesday. Also, clearly not a good sign.
