Jerm and NASCAR lady legend Vicki Wood

Living Legends of Auto Racing. Here's you'll find the memberships of Dick Fleck, Marvin Panch, Ray Fox, Russ Truelove, and many others!

Welcome to one of the most unique mixes of people and faces you will ever find at any other bar. This site has been established to let all the members know when racing events, parties, and finished brews, wines, and ciders are featured at the actual bar. Even though Dale Jr. has moved to Hend(p)rick, we have decided to still be a fan of his, and still hate the other bastards on his team.

We regularly brew our own beer, ferment wines and ciders for our friends to enjoy and have had a lot of success. So come on in, enjoy the atmosphere which is rich in the legends of NASCAR, especially Dale Sr. and Jr. Pop open a home brew have, a glass of home made wine or cider. Feel free to relish in the huge amount of beer and liquor we have in stock. Both imported and domestic. The complete list can be viewed in column just to the right.  Angel and I own the bar and occasionally tend, however Michael is head of bartending and maintenance, but is now dabbling in brewing! We encourage all to drink responsibly and to not be offended if we feel you've had enough. It's all about getting home safe folks!

We welcome new members, so if you've ended up here at the site, someone likes what we do and is passing on the good word. If the red light is on, that means we're open and just come on in and down the stairs. Anything you could possibly need to know about beer, spirits, brewing, NASCAR, bar events, etc. can be found by navigating through the links on the Jerm's Joint Yahoo! Group page (see bottom of this page to join), or talk to our self-proclaimed "experts".

Jerm's Joint owes a lot of its beer selection influence to O'Malley's & The Rendezvous in St. Augustine, FL courtesy of Big Dave. Come on in, have a drink, enjoy the company and conversation.  We look forward to seeing you!

Bill Crittenden On Mayfield

This week, my good friend Bill Crittenden offers his input on the Jeremy Mayfield situation.  Allowing me to post this from his Cars and Racing Stuff website, here is what Bill has to say:
 
It's been 60 years since NASCAR's first Strictly Stock race when Glenn
Dunnaway's car crossed the finish line first but was disqualified for non-stock
rear springs. It was back then in 1949 when Dunnaway's owner Hubert
Westmoreland sued NASCAR for $10,000 and North Carolina Judge John Hayes set the
precedent that has allowed NASCAR to administer its own punishments for
violations under its rules without fear of legal action. Since then we've
endured decades of bad calls and one of the most ridiculous rules violations in
all of motorsports called "Actions Detrimental to Stock Car Racing," and NASCAR
hasn't been held responsible for any of it aside from the occasional critical
interview comment.

Wednesday's injunction by U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen against
NASCAR's suspension of Jeremy Mayfield certainly looks like it could mean the
beginning of the the end of an era that stretches back to the very beginning of
what we now know as stock car racing. For once, NASCAR has had to answer for
one of its decisions and has been reversed by someone even more powerful than
the management of NASCAR, which has ruled over the sport with an iron fisted
control that even Joseph Stalin would be envious of. Power to the people!
Freedom on the Fourth of July! That's a good thing, right? In this case,
probably not.

While I certainly disagree with big decisions by NASCAR management as often as I
agree with them, including aspects of it's drug testing policy, a court case
ruled against a NASCAR judgement is a Pandora's Box that we may regret ever
seeing opened. Justice for the wronged and the fans who have watched the sport
make an embarrassment of itself may cost more than anyone anticipates. What
might have happened in the past had the precedent of Hayes' decision not been in
place? Can you imagine a Florida court deciding the outcome of the
controversial 2007 Daytona 500 finish? How about an owner or driver who feels
they lost a race because of a fake caution thrown for the sake of a more
exciting finish (see the end of the Manipulating the outcome of races section of
Wikipedia's Criticism of NASCAR page)?

What's so wrong with a little justice and accountability for NASCAR? Nothing,
in principle. In practice, however, justice in the American court system takes
time, and with just about seven days between one race and the next, not counting
time at the track practicing and qualifying, there isn't much left over for
court dates. In this instance, although vindicated, Jeremy Mayfield still
missed seven races under suspension. The two scenarios previously mentioned
involve points, and can you imagine starting the Chase not quite sure who's
really even in it because a court case is still pending involving the 40 or 50
points (or a 100 point penalty) that's the difference between a driver getting
in or missing out?

Of course, there are certainly plenty of ways in which NASCAR could reassert
control over the situation by making life difficult for Jeremy Mayfield and his
team, from shenanigans at tech inspection to pressuring the rest of the garage
to make Mayfield feel unwelcome. I think that they're doing that already, or do
you really think it was solely the consciences of Jimmie Johnson, Robby Gordon
and Jeff Gordon that led them to file their "form-letter" affadavits against
Mayfield and pressure from NASCAR's management had absolutely nothing to do with
it? Tommy Baldwin has already referred to Mayfield as "marked," which really
could either mean he's unsponsorable for being associated with methamphetamine
use or he's got a bullseye on his back, courtesy of NASCAR management. Or both.
The affadavits and any sort of retaliation against Mayfield would prove they
hadn't learned their lesson, because it's just more of the same sort of attitude
that got them in this mess in the first place.

And it was NASCAR's management who got themselves into this mess. Like many
fans I would love to see NASCAR act more responsibly and be more accountable for
its actions and treat its participants fairly. And while I didn't really want
to see the day when NASCAR rules are challenged in the courts, I can't blame
Jeremy Mayfield one bit for taking his fight to there. In fact, it was NASCAR's
mismanagement that created this situation, and it was only a matter of time
before a driver or owner finally had enough of one bad policy or another and
brought their arguments before a judge. That point was reached when one man was
brought down to the point where he had nothing to lose, and the traditional
threats of further punishment were meaningless to him.

Whether NASCAR prevails and proves that not even a court decision can prevent
them from excercising control over stock car racing's participants or that
control is lost to the courts, July 1, 2009 was an important day in the history
of stock car racing. Whatever happens next, remember that date, because this is
about more than a struggling veteran driver's career or a haphazard drug policy
just as sure as Hayes' decision sixty years ago had implications far beyond a
mere ten grand and rear springs.
