CUP: Mayfield Has A Bigger Foe Than NASCAR: The IRS
The Jeremy Mayfield saga continues...

Jeremy Mayfield’s lawsuit against NASCAR isn’t his only legal issue, and if NASCAR seems like a giant to go up against, Mayfield has two even bigger entities taking action against him:
The Internal Revenue Service and the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
The IRS has filed a lien on property owned by Mayfield and his wife, Shana, for unpaid income taxes totaling $231,139 – $214,108 for 2008 and $17,031 for 2006.
The North Carolina Department of Revenue filed a delinquent income tax notice with Mayfield for $65,932 – $62,379 for 2008 and $3,553 for 2006. The unpaid taxes were listed at $56,430 with a total of $10,502 in fines and fees.
The tax documents were filed in North Carolina Superior Court in Newton, N.C. The IRS lien was filed March 29, while the North Carolina tax notice was filed Feb. 15.
Mayfield is mired in a lawsuit against NASCAR over a drug test last May that NASCAR says was positive for methamphetamine but Mayfield says was a mix of over-the-counter and prescription medication. Mayfield was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for violating its substance abuse policy. Mayfield has challenged the suspension in federal court.
In addition to the tax issues, Mayfield already has judgments against him and his Mayfield Motorsports Inc. totaling $177,320 for unpaid bills – $86,709 to Triad Racing Technologies (parts, pieces and chassis work), $71,554 to Arrington Manufacturing (engines) and $19,057 to Impact Racing (safety equipment).
He faces other lawsuits over unpaid bills, including a hearing Thursday over whether he owes former attorney Bill Diehl’s firm $371,973. Mayfield argues in court documents that those issues should be resolved through the state bar’s fee dispute program.
Mayfield also has filed a motion in the Arrington case asking for the judgment to be set aside because he has been negotiating a settlement with Arrington and did not get three days’ notice of a default hearing.
Mayfield declined comment Wednesday afternoon.
