McMurray on racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway: “Indy is one of the best tracks that we visit each year. The last couple of years, I haven’t faired very well, but it is a track where I really like to race. Last year, our day ended early when we were caught in a wreck in turn one. There is so much history and tradition at Indy that it’s one of the most exciting races that we run, and certainly one on every drivers’ list that they would like to win. We are taking a brand new car this weekend, and with all engineering support from the guys at the shop, as well as from Ford, we should have a pretty good Crown Royal Ford Fusion.

“Prior to running the race this weekend, we will once again be hosting Crown Royal’s ‘Safe Rides Home’ in downtown Indianapolis on Thursday evening. I’ve been a part of this for the last two years, and it’s always been a lot of fun. Crown Royal does so much to promote their ‘Be a Champion. Drink Responsibly.’ campaign, and this is just another effort they support. It should be fun driving Crown Royal branded Ford Fusions through downtown Indianapolis on Thursday evening.”

Crew chief Larry Carter on racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway: “After a much needed off-weekend, I know all the guys on the No. 26 Crown Royal team are ready to get back to the track. The last six or seven weeks, we’ve had some really fast cars, probably the fastest cars that we’ve had all season. With that said, it’s exciting to be going to Indy this weekend, a track that Jamie has had some success at the in the past. We are taking a brand new car this weekend to Indy, which in the past, you would typically have to test somewhere, or shake down somewhere, but with how far we have come with engineering, we can put it through all the simulators and feel really confident with the car before it even leaves the shop. If we can avoid the trouble this weekend, it should be a great weekend for the No. 26 Crown Royal team.”
