NASCAR CEO Brian France was on Motor Racing Network's "NASCAR Live" last night and he was taking phone calls. One of those calls was from a man named Jeremy Mayfield.

The road from Nascar driver to backwoods criminal's been a short one for Jeremy Mayfield, culminating in his arrest for possession of stolen goods, methamphetamine, and a small arsenal last night in Catawba, North Carolina.

Despite occurring earlier this week, is it bad we hadn't heard about Jeremy Mayfield's indefinite suspension by NASCAR after testing positive for methamphetamines until today? Is it worse our first reaction was thinking he's just playing up to his fan-base?
