2010 Daytona 500 Champion Jamie McMurray to Attend Coke Zero 400 Media
Day

Media, Save the Date as McMurray Appears with 2010 Bassmaster Classic
Winner Kevin VanDam

Concord, N.C. (June 9, 2010) - In February of 2010, Jamie McMurray won
his sport's biggest and most prestigious event - the 2010 Daytona 500.
Exactly one week later, Angler Kevin VanDam (KVD) pulled a similar feat
by winning the 2010 Bassmaster Classic, the biggest and most prestigious
event in professional fishing.

Now, the two Bass Pro Shops-sponsored athletes will try each other's
professions at historic Daytona International Speedway at the Coke Zero
400 Media Day. 

McMurray, who won the 2007 Coke Zero 400 and this year's Daytona 500,
will join three-time Bassmaster Classic Winner and five-time Angler of
the Year Kevin VanDam for a full day of media activities.  The two
champions will fish together on Lake Lloyd and then race
high-performance karts from the Richard Petty Driving Experience in the
infield between Turns three and four.

*	Where: Daytona International Speedway
 
*	When: Tuesday, June 22, 11 a.m.

In the upcoming Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca-Cola on Saturday, July 3,
McMurray will try to become the fifth driver in Daytona history to sweep
both NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events in the same year. Only Fireball
Roberts, Cale Yarborough, LeeRoy Yarbrough and Bobby Allison have been
able to complete the sweep of the Daytona 500 and the mid-summer classic
in the same year.
 
Media will also be able to fish and kart with McMurray and VanDam. To
attend this media event, members of the media should RSVP to Andrew
Booth, Manager of Media Relatons, at
abooth@daytonainternationalspeedway.com
