JAMIE MCMURRAY QUOTES:
"Dover is definitely one of those places that if you can avoid the wrecks and be around at the end, you'll have a good finish. Things happen so fast at Dover that you don't have much time to react if something goes wrong in front of you."
"I had some good runs up at Dover in my Busch Series car, and we were running fourth there last May with a few laps to go when I cut a tire down and the car veered straight into the wall. That's what I mean about how things can happen so fast there."
"We're taking the best car in our stable. (Chassis) 304 is the same car we ran at Rockingham, Texas and Fontana with and had very strong runs. It's hard to explain why that car runs so well, but I guess you can compare it to your favorite pair of shoes. It just feels comfortable. I'm really excited about our chances this weekend at Dover."
