Hey, guess what! There's new Mayfield news! And it's every bit as wacky as the last few installments!
Mayfield has formally filed a wrongful death lawsuit in North Carolina Superior Court against his stepmother, charging that she somehow played a role in the death of Mayfield's father Terry.
Terry Mayfield died in 2007 from what police determined was a suicidal gunshot wound to the chest. But Jeremy Mayfield's suit claims that Lisa Mayfield's "intentional actions" had a part in Terry Mayfield's death. Lisa Mayfield has already filed a defamation lawsuit against Mayfield, who made public comments to the effect that she killed Terry Mayfield. Oh, and she was busted for trespassing on his property, too.

Seriously, though, the Jeremy Mayfield saga is rapidly becoming The Ultimate Southern Story. Look what we've got: speed, meth, family strife and death. This is a Skynyrd song come to life! I seriously cannot wait for the next installment. Illegitimate child? Secret love affair? Moonshine ring? Place your bets now!
