WSOC-TV in Charlotte, N.C. is reporting that the abandoned and gutted house will be burned to the ground on Saturday ... a move that will take it off the tax books and provide training for the Catawba Fire Department.
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 want it off their hands. Mayfield - suspended from NASCAR in 2009 after testing positive for methamphetamine - told WSOC that he has no plans to show up and watch the controlled burn.
