NASCAR Sprint Cup points leader Tony Stewart has crashed his primary car in practice at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

The two-time series champion crashed hard on Friday during the opening practice for the Lenox Industrial Tools 301, badly damaging his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet.

Mayfield’s denial comes in an affidavit that was among several hundred pages of documents filed by his attorneys in U.S. District Court. He’s been suspended since May 9 for failing a random drug test conducted eight days earlier at Richmond International Raceway.
