07/02/2009 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sprint Cup Series driver and team owner Jeremy Mayfield was not present at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, one day after a federal judge granted him a temporary injunction to race again, beginning with this weekend's Coke Zero 400.
Mayfield had until 3 p.m. (et) to officially enter his team for Saturday's 400-mile race at Daytona.
On Wednesday, Mayfield was granted an injunction by U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen in Charlotte, allowing the 40-year-old driver to continue competition while his case against NASCAR proceeds. Mullen noted the likelihood of a false positive in issuing the temporary injunction.
After testing positive for methamphetamines on May 1, Mayfield became the first driver to be suspended indefinitely since NASCAR's revised drug policy went into effect earlier this year. Mayfield repeatedly denied he used illegal drugs, claiming his positive test resulted from taking the prescription drug Adderall XR, used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and a double dosage of the allergy medication Claritin-D.
Mayfield has also claimed his suspension has led to struggles in financial and sponsorship support, and has forced him to lay off 10 crew members from his team.
This year, Mayfield formed his own team and qualified for five races, including the Daytona 500.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
