JAMIE MCMURRAY QUOTES: "I'm really anxious about getting to Daytona. I can't wait to get to race under the lights at Daytona. I've watched this race on T.V. and always thought it'd be cool to get to race at night at Daytona, and now I get the opportunity. Plus, I've had a weekend off with no racing, and I'm ready to get back behind the wheel. I'm running my Busch car this weekend too, so I'll get plenty of seat time around Daytona this weekend." "We're taking a really good superspeedway car down for the race. This is the same car Casey (Mears) was going to use as his primary car for the Daytona 500 before he brushed the wall in practice. The team has put a new body on it and has tested it, and I have no doubt it will be good this weekend in Daytona. If we can avoid 'The Big One', we should be in good shape." "I'm really thrilled to get the opportunity to run the special T3 paint scheme this weekend. I had the chance to meet Arnold at Fontana when we unveiled the Havoline/Terminator 3 Dodge. This has been a fun promotion to be involved with, and hopefully, it will give the fans something to get fired up about. It's a great way to kick off the summer, and hopefully, the Havoline/Terminator 3 Dodge will rise into victory lane this weekend in Daytona."
