Jeremy Mayfield.....a little history

Thought I might share one photo of some older builds when Jeremy Mayfield was gaining recognition as an up and coming driver. I worked with Jeremny when he began his career at Nashville (the 95 car) driving late models, and through his time spent at Cale Yarborough's team. The two 37 cars were a couple of the paint schemes after he and John Andretti swapped rides from Cale's to Michael Kranefuss team. I built the 95 model and it was actually used on Jeremy's groom cake during his first wedding to Cristina Keith, right before he moved to N.C.
Thanks for looking

Some mighty sweet builds.  Especially like the K-Mart/RC car.  Did you make your own decals?
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

All three look great spotter. Cool back story on all three too. Specially the #95 car.

3 crisp clean beautiful builds, Mark. I remember back then there was a weekly show on one of the nascar networks that would do like a mini series on certain drivers. Jeremy was one of the drivers that was covered. It was very interesting seeing some behind the scenes personal things on the drivers. I remember they also did Ward Burton. He was my favorite driver back then. I cant remember which network it was on or the name of the show,  but it was very well done.

My wife remembered the show. It was called "Nascar Drivers 360" and it was on Speed network. It was on during 2004 and 2005 seasons. Jeremy had 2 episodes. Ward also had 2. Maybe it will show up on you tube someday.
