Jamie McMurray Quotes:
"Darlington is definitely one of my favorite tracks that we race on.
It's a racer's racetrack. By that I mean the driver is really the one in
control. You're not so dependent on aero at Darlington, so the driver
can really make up the difference if the car is not exactly right.
Darlington is also one of those places that having patience is
important. The tires wear off so quickly there that you have to pace
yourself during a long green flag run and not use up the car. Darlington
reminds me of why I love racing - the challenge. The turns are shaped
different, so you may get your car handling good in one set of turns,
and then struggle in the other turns. It's cool to head back to
Darlington as the most recent winner of the Busch race. We're taking the
same car back that we won with, so hopefully the results will be the
same and we can get the Top-Flite Dodge into victory lane."
