McMurray driving for Phoenix at Talladega:

Phoenix Racing announced it will enter this weekend’s Aaron’s 312 at the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway. The team will do so with a familiar face behind the wheel. Jamie McMurray will pilot the #1 Phoenix Construction Chevy during Saturday’s race. McMurray has two wins for the team, both coming at what is now known as Rockingham Speedway in 2003. McMurray has a total of eight NASCAR Nationwide Series wins and is also one of the best drivers on a restrictor-plate track. He has three Sprint Cup Series wins combining both Talladega and Daytona. He will be looking for his first plate win in the Nationwide Series this weekend with Phoenix Racing. (Breaking Limites/Phoenix Racing)(4-11-2011)
