NASCAR is in the midst of some challenging times. The down-turned economy has hurt ticket sales. Sponsorship dollars are a concern. And television ratings are not on the increase.

But an off-track story has been dominating the NASCAR headlines. Jeremy Mayfield, a one-time up-and-coming driver has been suspended for testing positive for drugs.

On this edition of Sports Spectrum Today, we talk real-life issues in NASCAR with one of our racing analysts, Brad Winters. Brad shares some thoughts on the career of Jeremy Mayfield.

Brad tries to answer a few of the questions—How did he fall so fast? Where did things go wrong? Is he guilty as charged or is there a chance he will drive again?

He also talks about the reasons why NASCAR has not had any real drug problems in their sport prior to this story.
