McMurry won't return to Roush
The driver dominoes in the Sprint Cup Series are apparently beginning to fall into place. Jamie McMurray will not return to Roush Fenway Racing next season and has been actively seeking other employment, the Observer and ThatsRacin.com have learned. In the past week or so, representatives on behalf of McMurray have notified other Cup teams of his availability beginning next season, multiple sources confirmed on Sunday. McMurray's departure could accomplish two important goals for Roush. The organization has been in discussions with sponsor Crown Royal to pair that sponsorship with driver Greg Biffle beginning next season, although a final decision has not been made, sources said. Officials with Crown Royal could not be reached for comment on Sunday. In addition, McMurray's departure could also open the door for Roush Fenway to move from five to four Cup teams by 2009, one year sooner then required by NASCAR's four-car limits on ownership.

I always knew McMurray was the odd man out
when it came time to cut the team down to 4.
He has talent but roush has some of the best
Equipment and if he can???t do it with them then
his limitaions have been exposed.
Look for him to land with another team and end up having a carrer like Elliott Sadler

STP43FAN ,,Contrar, my friend he has not had the
best stuff to work with, Roush gives his Best drivers
the Elpremo equipment,and not a sub standard

Robbie Reiser, who is in charge of operation for all five teams
Maintains that an equal standard exist across the board and that the cars are all the same.
The setup changes in accordance to the Individual drivers style of racing. Some drivers like it loose or rear heavy when plowing into a turn so they can come out fast. Some drivers don???t want to be shot out of a turn. It???s the crew chief /driver relationship that works out these little idiosyncrasies

Jamie McMurray, the "gayest" driver voice in NASCAR? I think JJ Yaley gives him a run for his money. They both have very high pitched, nasally voices, however.
Think of all the trouble Jack Roush went to in order to get McMurray from Chip Ganassi, and now he's letting him go. For a while there, it looked like Biffle might be leaving Roush, because he was fed up with his equipment breaking on him... I was certainly curious to see what he'd fetch on the open market.

Jamie McMurray can drive! He's like other drivers who doesn't always have the greatest luck, but sometimes we make our own luck. A change would be good for Jamie and away from Roush. I;m sure any of the other top teams would love to have him driving for them. He won't have a problem finding a job driving is he leaves.
