49. Jeremy Mayfield

The only suspended player on this list, Jeremy Mayfield was on the track for a potential NASCAR Hall of Fame induction. With a series of wins, and top ten finishes, Mayfield had at least the fringe possibility of Charlotte, but a substance abuse suspension rendered him ineligible for competition. Hell, he is probably not even eligible for this list!
