Mayfield failed at least two Nascar drug tests and then sued Nascar after they suspended him for violating their zero tolerance policy on substance abuse. That lawsuit was eventually thrown out. Mayfield blamed the failed drug test on a combination of OTC and RX drugs that caused him to test positive for methamphetamine. Mayfield's stepmother Lisa Mayfield accused the Nascar driver of making and using meth during the years of 1998 - 2005 with his father Terry Mayfield. Jeremy Mayfield said his stepmother is a liar and a "whore" and murdered his father in 2007. Jeremey also claims Nascar has a vendetta against him and paid his stepmother to lie. Jeremy filed a wrongful death suit against his stepmother even though his father's death was ruled a suicide. Lisa Mayfield sued Jeremy Mayfield for slander in 2009. The case was settled out of court in February 2011. The details are confidential but Jeremy "issued a signed apology to his stepmother".
