Mayfield in, Labonte out at the Glen.

Jeremy Mayfield's head wound was serious enough to keep him out of Saturday's Brickyard 400 despite qualifying in fourth place. However the driver of the #12 Mobil Ford Taurus will be back in action this weekend when NASCAR makes its annual trip to upper state New York for the Frontier @ the Glen.

Mayfield knocked himself unconscious during the final hour of practice prior to Saturday's race after hitting oil laid down by another car on the entrance to Turn Three and was taken to a local hospital for a precautionary check -up.

No other injuries were reported although after being knocked unconscious Mayfield was ruled out of the race, the Kentucky driver having to watch from the sidelines as Kyle Petty piloted the car during the race.

Mayfield, who was looking score his third win of the year after previous successes in Fontana and Pocono, has confirmed that he will be back on track at Watkins Glen this weekend looking to regain the lost ground in the points standings.

For Texas Terry though, a second week on the pit-wall is in order as the injuries he suffered at the Pepsi 400 in July and aggravated at New Hampshire are still bothering him enough to make him delay his return.

Doctors told Labonte that he could start the Brickyard 400 and complete one lap before handing over to his back-up driver in order to keep his Ironman streak alive but Terry chose to stand aside, thus ending one of NASCAR's record that may not be broken for many years. Dale Earnhardt currently owns the longest consecutive streak of race-starts with 234.

Todd Bodine, who piloted the #5 Kellogg's Chevrolet to 15th place at Indy, could return to the seat for the Frontier @ the Glen although Rich Bickle is also in the frame for the drive after subbing for Labonte during the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono.
