New look for McMurray

The last time Jamie McMurray raced at Daytona International Speedway, he won the Pepsi 400. His next race there will be the Bud Shootout and if he had it his way, all races at Daytona would be 70 laps even though his most recent win in Cup came in a 400-mile race at the track.
The Bud Shootout is the first race of the year, an exhibition for the pole winners from the previous season. A record 23 cars will start the Shootout and McMurray said he is looking forward to it.
"The last time we raced at Daytona I won there, which gives the team a lot of confidence heading into the race," said McMurray, driver of the No. 26 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "Also, I really think that all speedway races should be no more than 50 to 70 laps. The rest of the time the guys are just putting themselves into a position to really go for it at the end."
The car McMurray's team is using in the Shootout is the same one it tested at Daytona last month. The car he raced to win the Pepsi 400 can't be used. The Car of Tomorrow, NASCAR's new stock car for the Cup series, will be used in every race this year.
Don't be confused by the paint scheme on McMurray's car either. There will be a prominent No. 16 on his car, but it's not for his teammate, Greg Biffle, who drives the No. 16 Ford for Roush.
The No. 16 on McMurray's car is for the car's Crown Royal logo. The No. 16 on McMurray's car is part of the Crown Royal Cask No. 16, which represents the beginning of the postal code from the cognac region in France where the drink origintates and is a new blend from Crown Royal.
“Aside from having a cool name, it's a great looking car that I'm really excited to run at both the Shootout and the Daytona 500," McMurray said. "We had a pretty good test in Daytona a couple of weeks ago, so hopefully we can build on what we learned and put ourselves in a good position at the end of the race."
