Associated PressCHARLOTTE— NASCAR was still analyzing Jeremy Mayfield's latest drug test Friday, four days after demanding the driver submit to a random test.

"The process continues," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said, declining further comment.

Dr. David Black, the program administrator, said Wednesday the test processed by Aegis Sciences Corp. would be completed by Friday at the latest. His Nashville, Tenn.-based lab typically needs four days to analyze a sample.

"I just don't think there's anything to report right now. I did not come to work (Friday) expecting we'd get the results," Mayfield attorney John Buric said. "But then again, I'm a lawyer, and I can wait a year for a ruling. So I am never too surprised when things take time. I wouldn't read too much into it, honestly."
