The Yates guys must feel like crap. Sadler goes to a new team, which has struggled all season, and puts the 19 car on the outside pole. And why would anyone want Jeremy Mayfield driving thei rcar? He spent the season sniping at his car owner, even though his teammate Kasey Kahne didn't seem to have any problems getting his car to the front. Then a new guy gets in his ride and puts it on the pole for the first race.
Maybe he should go to Toyota. He'll fit right in with their other overhyped drivers, Jarrett and Waltrip.

Mayfield's Wife Denies Comments About Team
Says she never suggested Mayfield should drop out of top 35

BROOKLYN, Mich. -- The wife of Nextel Cup driver Jeremy Mayfield took issue with a comment made by a member of the No. 19 Evernham Motorsports team during a recent legal dispute with team owner Ray Evernham.
Shana Mayfield was mentioned in a deposition given by Chuck Efaw, a mechanic on the 19, during an August 9 hearing over the conditions of the termination of her husband.
"At the race in Loudon, N.H., last month, Shana Mayfield, Jeremy's wife, said to me, 'I told Jeremy he better not have that car in the top 35 at the end of the season,'" Efaw said in the court document.
Shana said that never happened.
"Those accusations were false," she said. "The judge had access to all those written documents, along with verbal testimony. She saw both sides and ruled in favor of the deserving party, and that usually ends up being the ones who tell the truth."
The judge ruled in favor of Mayfield, who filed a restraining order to keep Bill Elliott out of the car last week at Watkins Glen, to position himself for a financial settlement with Evernham.
After the ruling, Evernham agreed to pay Mayfield for the rest of the season to clear the way for Elliott Sadler to drive the 19 in the remaining 14 races.
Mayfield, who will sign to drive for Bill Davis Racing's new Toyota Team next week initially was fired without compensation.
"If Ray would have done what he said he was going to do all along, he and Jeremy sit down and talk about any issues, then it would have never come to this," Shana said.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. bumped Carl Edwards from the lead with two laps remaining and went on to win the Carfax 250 Busch Series Race Saturday at Michigan. After reviewing the tape, NASCAR declared Earnhardt the winner amid several boos from the crowd.
