The roof is on fire: Jeremy Mayfield's former mansion burned to the ground
Jeremy Mayfield's former million-dollar mansion is no more.
Last week, we told you about the plans to burn the abandoned and gutted 12,000-square-foot home in a controlled training exercise for the Catawba (N.C) Fire Department. Last night, it happened.

The troubled former driver - who once paid almost $4 million for the land and surrounding property - was evicted last year and the current owners just wanted it off their hands.
Mayfield was suspended from NASCAR in 2009 after testing positive for methamphetamine.
