HAVOLINE TEAM FACTS:

Chassis: The Havoline team will race chassis #304. This is most proven car in the Havoline Racing stable. Chassis #304 has scored two top-five and three top-10 finishes (Rockingham, Texas and Fontana) in the four events it has competed in this year. Chassis #304 also finished 13th a couple weeks ago at Dover International Speedway.

McMurray is making his NASCAR Winston Cup Series debut at Michigan International Speedway this weekend. McMurray has two previous Busch Series starts at Michigan with a best finish of 12th (8/17/02).

McMurray won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series pole at Michigan on July 22, 2000, setting a new track qualifying record. McMurray finished sixth in the race.

McMurray enters the Sirius Satellite Radio 400 24th in NASCAR Winston Cup Series points and currently leads the Raybestos Rookie-of-the-Year standings.

McMurray has posted two top-five and three top-10 finishes in the first 14 races of the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season.

JAMIE MCMURRAY QUOTES:

"I'm looking forward to Michigan. The track is very similar to California Speedway and we had a great run and finish there earlier this year. We're taking the same car we ran at Fontana, and it's the same car we've had all of our good runs in this year. Michigan's been a good track for me in the past, and I think I still hold the qualifying record in the Truck Series at Michigan. Michigan's one of those places that you can race three wide and if your car's hooked up, you can move to the front no matter where you start."

"We're coming off a disappointing run last weekend in Pocono and I think everyone on this Havoline team is looking forward to Michigan knowing we're taking the same car that we almost won with at Fontana this year. It should be a good weekend for us."
