McMurray at Talladega

In the fall NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway last year, Jamie McMurray started eighth and finished 37th.
In the spring race, he started eighth and finished fifth.
Despite the gap in results, McMurray said his recent races at Talladega with Roush Fenway Racing have been pretty good.
The car McMurray's team is bringing to Talladega, site of Sunday's Cup race, is the same one it raced in the Daytona 500. McMurray finished 31st in it.
"Talladega has always been a pretty good track for me and our speedway car has always been fast since I've been at Roush Fenway Racing -- it's one of the oldest cars that we have," said McMurray, driver of the No. 26 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "It always runs well and seems to qualify really well, so I always look forward to going there. Talladega is one of those tracks where I know that we'll run well and if we can stay out of one of the wrecks that I know will happen, we'll have a good finish."
In the Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday, McMurray started second, but got caught up in some crashes and finished 23rd. He is still among the top 12 in the Cup standings.
"Last week was frustrating for me and the No. 26 team," McMurray said. " We had a good car, but had a lot of bad luck happen to us. Everything that happened was out of our control. Hopefully, we can run well this weekend at Talladega and make up the ground that we lost last weekend."
