• How it all Began

Jeremy Mayfield was just a boy when he began to express an interest in going fast. At the ripe old age of four, Mayfield spent his time riding his bicycle in circles as quickly as he possibly could. A childhood paper route gave him the opportunity to perfect his style, as he would cycle through the neighborhood at breakneck speeds, preparing himself for bike races at a local track in his hometown of Owensboro, Ky. It wasn’t long before Mayfield turned his attention to four-wheeled competition. His first foray into the world of auto racing was behind the wheel of a go-kart.

Mayfield quickly advanced from karts to Street Stocks and Late Model Stock Cars and experienced a great deal of success along the way. To make ends meet as a teenager, he painted the signs at the local track and could often be found painting the numbers on his competitors’ race cars. His accomplishments on the short tracks of central Tennessee led him to move to Nashville to pursue a career in racing. Though his dreams were ultimately to sit behind the wheel, Mayfield landed a job as a fabricator at Sadler Racing. His hard work and dedication paid off about halfway through the season, when the Sadlers equipped him with a Late Model in which to compete. In 1987, Mayfield won Rookie of the Year honors at Owensboro’s Kentucky Motor Speedway.

Mayfield captured another Rookie of the Year award in 1993, this time in the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) Series. He earned eight top-five finishes and 10 top-10 finishes along the way. It was an exciting year for Mayfield, who also made his first start in NASCAR’s premiere series in Charlotte, N.C., driving the Sadler Brothers car to a 29th-place finish. All it took was that first taste of Cup Series competition for Mayfield to become hooked.
