NASCAR Nextel Cup Series veteran Jeremy Mayfield headlines several key players that will compete in the “Over the Mountain 150 Presented by The Big Dawg 92.1” on Sunday. Mayfield, a native of Owensboro, KY, and former ARCA RE/MAX Series Rookie of the Year, has competed in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series since 1993. He’s earned five career wins, 48 top-fives and 96 top-10s during his Nextel Cup career. The past two years, he made the NASCAR’s “Chase for the Nextel Cup.”

“I just want to race,” said Mayfield. “I’ll be at Bristol (Motor Speedway) on Friday to appear on Trackside Live on SPEED Channel and make an announcement about my Cup career. Then, I’m heading over to Hickory Motor Speedway to have some fun and hopefully run real well in the PASS South Super Late Model race on Sunday. The Whorffs are giving me a great car and I’m even going to have my brand new Nextel Cup Series number on it for this weekend. I’m just real excited because Super Late Models are what I grew up with.”

Mayfield will compete in a car furnished by Whorff Motorsports and Bill and Jeremie Whorff, the father and son combination that finished one-two in this year’s running of the prestigious Oxford 250 at Oxford-Plains Speedway (ME). Jeremie will now make the long trip down from Maine to race at Hickory on Sunday.
