Attorney: NASCAR is 'butchering' Jeremy Mayfield: Eyewitness News
anchor Blair Miller spent Wednesday gathering comments from around
racing.Driver Carl Edwards said that he is trying to reserve judgment
on Mayfield's case for now, but said he thinks NASCAR is doing the
right thing with its drug policy. "Nobody would say it's alright to
race on the race track with someone who's impaired, and I think that
NASCAR is trying to do their best and I feel good about it," he
said.Miller also spoke with Bill Diehl, Mayfield's attorney, who
couldn't comment directly on the details of the case because of a gag
order. However, he did say, "NASCAR is butchering a nice young man who
doesn't do drugs and hasn't done drugs. They're abusing their
power." (WSOC-TV)\
