Jeremy Mayfield

DOB: 5/27/69

Mayfield carries on the racing tradition of Owensboro, Ky., his hometown as well as the hometown of Darrell and Michael Waltrip. The driver of the Mobil 1 Ford has been in Winston Cup full-time since 1995 and has registered three victories, one in 1998 and two in 2000.

Unlike many stock car pilots who enjoy country music, Mayfield is a fan of Kid Rock, Metallica and Limp Bizkit. As for hobbies, Mayfield says he likes to “get away, whatever that means.”

Owner-operator Shelly's three trailers provide versatility for sometimes tight deliveries. Most often today he's hooked to a 53-foot 2017 Great Dane, 102-inch wide, an upgrade from a 2012 96-inch Utility. 'I still run an '04 48-foot/96-inch-wide reefer occasionallly,' too, he said.
