JAMIE MCMURRAY QUOTES:

"I'm really looking forward to getting to Martinsville this weekend. This
will be my first time to race there, but I did have a chance to test there
last fall while I was driving the No. 40 car for Sterling (Marlin), and we
had a pretty good test. Casey (Mears) tested Martinsville last week, so we
have some notes to go off of."

"Having watched races from Martinsville, it looks like it's always an
exciting race and it's short-track racing at its best."

"It always seems like qualifying is pretty important at Martinsville too. We
get around the track so quick that it doesn't take long to get lapped there.
Hopefully we'll have the Havoline Dodge near the front for the start of the
race."

"I've also heard a lot about not using up your brakes at Martinsville. This
is going to be a race that I'm going to rely a lot on (crew chief) Donnie
(Wingo) to help reminder and coach me on saving my brakes. Donnie has a lot
of experience at Martinsville."
