JAMIE MCMURRAY QUOTES:

"Coming off our strong run last weekend at Indy, I can't wait to get back to the race track. Everyone on the Havoline team is pumped up about our run last weekend and I think we'll carry that momentum into this weekend."

"I've run at Watkins Glen once before in the Busch Series back in 2001, so at least I've already seen the place. We're taking the same car we ran at Sonoma back in June. If I can keep it on the track and we can get good track position, I think we'll have a solid run at The Glen this weekend."
