After his dustup with Ray Evernham last year, Mayfield landed with Bill Davis Racing and began the year driving their #36 Toyota Camry. Began is a relative term, however, because Mayfield missed the first four races of the year and eight of the first thirteen, immediately putting the team in a huge hole.
Mayfield was eventually removed from the car in October prior to the Phoenix race after failing to post a top-20 finish in 13 starts. He was hired that week by Haas CNC to replace Jeff Green in the 66 car, and he went out and promptly finished 40th in his first race with them.
Jeremy Mayfield was never a huge talent in Cup racing, and he's all but done now. He only managed five wins when he drove for some of the best in the business, and now that he's with lower tier teams, he can kiss win number 6 goodbye.
He could end up in either the 66 or the 70 for 2008, depending on how Haas reorganizes those cars. The 70, I think, is a better team, so it would make sense for Haas to give that to the better talent (i.e. Riggs).
2008 prediction: 29th in points (28th if he gets the 70)
