#1-Jamie McMurray confirmed Saturday that he has signed a contract extension with Earnhardt Ganassi Racing for 2013. ‘I ‘m set for here,’ McMurray said after qualifying at Watkins Glen International. ‘It’s done. I haven ‘t really made a big deal about it. Drivers take different approaches to that. Some like all the publicity taking about. I don ‘t. & But everything is set for next year and I ‘m excited to be back here.’ McMurray didn ‘t say how long his extension runs, but he apparently didn ‘t test the free-agent market. Ganassi officials would not confirm nor deny that McMurray signed an extension. It is Ganassi policy not to comment on contracts.(Sporting News)(8-12-2012)

Q) YOU HAVE EXTENDED YOUR CONTRACT WITH EGR?
McMurray: ‘It’s been since May when that all went down. I haven ‘t really talked about it. Nobody asked me and I didn ‘t really volunteer it. You watch guys the way they handle that. Some like to make it very public and then there are others that just kind of go about their business.’(Team Chevy Race Notes and Quotes)(8-13-2012)
