Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 2002, Jamie McMurray won his first race in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series (later Sprint Cup) at Lowe's Motor Speedway. What was remarkable about this win?

Answer: Jamie won in only his second cup series attempt

Jamie McMurray set a record in Charlotte for winning in the shortest period of time after entering the cup series. Jamie drove the number 40 Coors Light car, taking the place of Sterling Marlin who was resting with a broken vertebra he suffered in a wreck at Kansas Motor Speedway weeks before.

2. McMurray won his first NASCAR Sprint Cup race in the same season he won the Raybestos Rookie of the Year Award.

Answer: False

Jamie McMurray won his first race in 2002, but under NASCAR guidelines, a driver may compete in up to seven races in one season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series without being eligible for Rookie of the Year. Jamie raced a full schedule in 2003, and won the Raybestos Rookie of the Year Award in that season.

3. Which of the following car numbers has Jamie never raced with across the top three NASCAR Series (NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Camping World Truck Series)?

Answer: 9

Jamie McMurray competed in the #26 Ford in the Sprint Cup Series from 2006-2009, as well as the #26 Ford from 1999-2000 in the Camping World Truck Series. He competed in the #88 Chevrolet in the Nationwide Series for selected races in 2010, and in the #27 Chevrolet in the Nationwide Series from 2001-2002.

4. McMurray has driven for several teams in the Sprint Cup series throughout his career. Which of the following teams has he not driven for?

Answer: Dale Earnhardt Inc.

McMurray began his career driving for Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS), but switched to Roush Racing in 2005 after two disappointing seasons with CGRFS. McMurray returned to drive for Chip Ganassi again in 2010, but the team was named Earnhardt Ganassi Racing after a merger with Dale Earnhardt Inc.

5. Like many NASCAR drivers, McMurray was born in the Midwest. Which of the following cities in Missouri is Jamie's hometown?

Answer: Joplin

Joplin is located in the southwest corner of Missouri. Jamie was born there on June 3, 1976.

6. Jamie won the 2010 Daytona 500, leading only two laps in an unlikely victory. Which driver, a superstar in the world of super speedway racing, pushed Jamie across the finish line for the win?

Answer: Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., famous for being one of the all-time greats of super speedway racing, had to settle for a second place finish in the 2010 Daytona 500, as he followed McMurray across the finish line. This was a notable race because it was the longest Daytona 500 in history, due to multiple green-white-checkered overtime attempts.

This added an extra 20 miles to the race, originally scheduled for 500 miles.

Answer: Kevin "Bono" Manion

McMurray and Manion worked well together in 2010, allowing the team to win multiple times and finish in the top 15 in the final points standings. Larry Carter was Jamie's crew chief for two years 2007-2008. Donnie Wingo was Jamie's crew chief in his rookie year, and again in 2009. Jamie did not work with Pat Tryson between 2003 and 2010.

Answer: True

In the period of time between 2003 and 2010, Jamie won 6 Sprint Cup races, 4 of which came in super speedway races (2 wins at Daytona, and 2 wins at Talladega). His remaining two wins came at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Answer: Thanksgiving

10. In 2006, Jamie formed the Jamie McMurray Foundation. The foundation supports those afflicted with which disorder?

Answer: Autism

The Jamie McMurray Foundation benefits Autism Speaks, promoting awareness and giving support to families of those with autism. Jamie formed the foundation in part because he has a niece with the disorder.
