Jamie McMurray Quotes:
"I'm really excited about this weekend in Texas. It will be cool to be
in the No. 42 car with Bell Helicopter as the sponsor. It's a cool paint
scheme and this is the same car we had at Charlotte last month and had a
good run going until the last lap. Rusty (Wallace) tested at Texas a few
weeks back for us and came back with some good notes that we'll be using
for the race.
I'm also excited to have Bryant (Frazier) come on board as the new crew
chief. Bryant brings a lot of knowledge with him in his new role, and I
think he is going to be a good fit with this race team. This weekend's
our first race together, and I'm expecting good things."
