The NASCAR-themed video for "Drowning (Face Down)" stars NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jeremy Mayfield as an aspiring racer who makes great sacrifices for a chance to compete at the highest level. The driver has no sponsor and no endorsement deals, but pushes forward through all obstacles in pursuit of his racing dreams.

"It was awesome and I can't wait until it comes out," said Jeremy Mayfield, who finished 32nd during Sunday's Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway. "Just being a part of that was just cool for me. Those guys are great guys and I'm glad to see them coming up. I didn't really know them that well until we did the video and they have a lot of fun. It's funny how our story kind of fit their song and worked perfect for their video."

A five-time Sprint Cup race winner, Mayfield hasn't had a full-time ride in more than two years and decided to start his own team a month before the 2009 season began. Mirroring the music video's theme, Mayfield has started three races this year, including racing his way into the Daytona 500, and is trying to recapture some of his past successes.

"We had a blast shooting the 'Drowning (Face Down)' video with Jeremy Mayfield and the other NASCAR drivers as we're all big NASCAR fans, said Saving Abel frontman Jared Weeks. We especially love how Jeremy's real life story mirrors the character he plays in the video."

Parts of the music video were shot at Bristol Motor Speedway, as well as Mayfield Motorsports in Harrisburg, N.C., and it features cameos by NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Carl Edwards, Martin Truex Jr., Brian Vickers and Clint Bowyer.
