Mayfield out at Haas CNC Racing

Jeremy Mayfield will no longer be driving for Haas CNC Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
The team announced today that the two parties have agreed to part ways.
“Jeremy’s proven resume behind the wheel of a Cup car was a real benefit to our team,” team general manager Joe Custer said. “He stepped into the seat and did everything we asked him to and more.
The team said in a release that it is exploring several scenarios regarding a replacement driver. However, previous reports have Johnny Sauter, who raced for the team last year, returning to drive the team's No. 70 Chevrolet.
Haas CNC has a two-car team, the No. 70 and No. 66. Scott Riggs is the driver of the No. 66 car.
In seven Cup races, Mayfield's best finish was a 23rd at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In the most recent race at Texas Motor Speedway, Mayfield started 39th and finished 38th. Mayfield is 36th in the drivers Cup standings.
“Ultimately, we were unable to provide him with the right balance, handling and speed he needed to be successful,” Custer said. “We wish Jeremy nothing but the best for his future.”
