The repeated role of “first loser” may be tough, but for Jamie McMurray, it’s more evidence that the return to EGR might be the best move he made in his career.
Watching the All-Star Race this past weekend got me thinking about other possible changes NASCAR might implement based on the non-points paying spectacular.
On the surface, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch are the most unlikely of teammates.
Richmond first appeared on the schedule in 1953. Lee Petty won the inaugural event, and since then the famed old circuit has hosted some 108 NASCAR Cup races.
Kurt Busch reacted to unpalatable defeat like he was drinking a cup of cold sick. “I’d rather lose to any of the other 41 cars out there than the No. 48 car.”
In the case of Denny Hamlin, the first three weeks of the new NASCAR season have been an early failure to live up to expectations.

When I got the email that Jamie McMurray would be at the Friar’s Club for a media lunch this Tuesday, I couldn’t resist.
It’s fair to say that 2009 was not a tremendous year for NASCAR TV advertising.
