McDonald’s to sponsor McMurray UPDATE:

  • Hearing McDonald’s will sponsor Jamie McMurray’s #1 Chevy in some capacity in 2010. No word if they will still sponsor any of the Richard Petty Motorsports cars. McDonald’s sponsored the #43 RPM Dodge of Reed Sorenson in a few 2009 races.(2-18-2010)
    UPDATE: Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray will be sponsored by McDonald’s for 11 Sprint Cup races this season, beginning with Sunday’s event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a source close to the situation tells ESPN.com. The source said the deal has been in the works since last year and was not sparked by McMurray’s win in the 500. Earnhardt Ganassi Racing has been looking for a second primary sponsor since Bass Pro Shops, on McMurray’s car for the 500, announced last season it was cutting back on the number of races it would sponsor the #1 car.(ESPN.com)(2-25-2010)
