JAMIE MCMURRAY QUOTES:

"Bristol has definitely been one of the more challenging tracks for me on
the circuit. I remember the first time I ran there I was completely in awe
of the place. With each time that I come back to Bristol I get more
comfortable with it. Bristol's definitely one of those tracks that keeps you
on your toes each lap because things happen so fast there. If you can avoid
the wrecks and be around at the end, you'll get a good finish."

"I love coming to Bristol because it's just amazing how many people come to
watch us race there. It's definitely a driver and fan racetrack."

"I think getting to run the Busch race on Saturday will help our effort in
the No. 42 Havoline Dodge. With each lap you make around Bristol, you gain
so much experience. I'm looking forward to getting to the 'high banks'
again."
