CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Just because Shana Mayfield’s name now is listed as the owner of the No. 41 Sprint Cup team doesn’t mean her suspended husband won’t be heavily involved.

“It’s still his deal,” Shana said on Wednesday after ownership was transferred from Jeremy Mayfield to her. “He’ll be at the shop. It’s still going to be run the way he wants it to be run.”

Mayfield on Saturday became the first Cup driver suspended for violating NASCAR’s substance abuse policy. The suspension included him as a driver and owner, meaning the team couldn’t return to the track until ownership changed.

That was done on Wednesday, opening the door for J.J. Yeley to participate in Saturday’s preliminary to the Sprint All-Star race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. - Full Story by David Newton – ESPN.com
