#26-Jamie McMurray will not be present at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway Media Tour Thursday afternoon. It’s not because McMurray is testing a racecar, or at a sponsor appearance, but serving his civic duty at the Iredell County Courthouse. “I can’t believe that I’m going to miss the media tour this year,” said McMurray. “Instead of being the driver of the #26 Crown Royal Ford Fusion, I’m Juror #7 at the Iredell County Courthouse, after being selected for jury duty earlier this week. So rather than joining my teammates at Roush Fenway Racing this afternoon, I’ll be at the courthouse serving my civic duty. I’m looking forward to returning to Daytona in a couple weeks and hope to catch up with all the media when I get there. We have some really exciting things coming up with both Crown Royal and IRWIN Industrial Tools. The #26 Crown Royal Ford Fusion will have a new look when we return to Daytona – we’re running the Cask #16 paint scheme on it. It’s a great looking car that I hope we can return to Victory Lane for Crown Royal.” The new paint scheme is intended to celebrate the recent unveiling of Crown Royal Cask #16*, a special blend of Crown Royal whisky, which is finished in rare Cognac casks.(Roush Racing)(1-24-2008)
