Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 champion, Jamie McMurray (No. 88 Hellmann’s Chevrolet) and fellow NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Matt Kenseth (No. 16 World Financial Group Ford) will be in the field for this weekend’s Great Clips 300 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
McMurray has made seven starts this season for JR Motorsports, posting three top fives, and five top 10s. McMurray won at Atlanta back in 2002 driving for owner Tammy Brewer. He has made seven series starts at Atlanta, accruing one win, one top five and three top 10s.
In 10 starts, Kenseth owns two Atlanta wins (2004, ’08), seven top-fives, eight top-10s and one pole. His last start at Atlanta came in 2008 when he won the event after starting 10th and leading 14 laps.
Kenseth will have some added pressure this week because he is sponsored by the World Financial Group, an Atlanta based company.
“Atlanta is going to be a great race weekend for the No. 16 team and I’m looking forward to running the Nationwide Series race,” said Kenseth. “We’ve had success at it in the past and it always makes for an exciting race weekend.”
Kenseth and McMurray join 10 other drivers pulling double duty this weekend: Kyle Busch (No. 18 NOS Energy Toyota), Joey Logano (No. 20 GameStop Toyota), Clint Bowyer (No. 21 ZAXBY’S Chevrolet), Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne ( No. 38 Great Clips Toyota), Carl Edwards, David Gilliland (No. 91 D’Hondt Humphrey Chevrolet), Paul Menard (No. 98 TARKETT/Menards Ford) and Ryan Newman (No. 1 Phoenix Construction Chevrolet).
