NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray will be in L.A. for the next couple of days for the ESPY awards. The show is being taped Tuesday and will be televised Sunday on ESPN.
McMurray is nominated for Best Finish for beating Kyle Busch in last year's Pepsi 400 at Daytona Internationa Speedway.
"This is going to be a very busy week, but certainly it's going to be a lot of fun," said McMurray, driver of the No. 26 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "On Tuesday, we are flying out to L.A., where we'll spend a couple days, and then it's off to practice my go-kart for a day, then fly to Gateway for the Nationwide race, and then back to Indiana for the go-kart race on Sunday."
Following the ESPY Awards on Wednesday evening, McMurray will fly to Indiana, where he will practice his go-kart during the evening practice session on Thursday. On Friday morning, McMurray will travel to St. Louis for the Nationwide race weekend.
In the ESPYs, McMurray is up against Western Kentucky's upset win over Drake in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, Game 1 of the NBA playoff game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns, and Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup finals, triple overtime win by the Detroit Red Wings over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
