Jamie McMurray has shocked the NASCAR world yet again. Many who have thought that the driver of the number 1 Earnhahrdt Ganassi Chevy was just average at best, have been proved wrong. Not only did McMurray win the biggest NASCAR race of the year, but he won what is most likely the 2nd biggest race of the year: the Brickyard 400.
He has become the third driver to ever accomplish this huge feat. He follows Dale Jarrett and the four time champion, Jimmie Johnson.
Lately, we have heard of the Daytona 500 winner's curse, which got its name from the recent winners that have gone on with the rest of the season fighting struggles.
At the same time, we have heard about the Brickyard 400 being an indicator for who is strong in the championship.
He is currently in 16th position in points, 151 points out of the chase cutoff point. It will not be easy to make it, but it can be done - actually mathematically in one race.
But McMurray made it clear that after all this, he did not care if he made the Chase. He seems happy and satisfied with what he has - and I don't blame him.
So, after all, what does this mean now that he has won the 500 curse and the Brickyard championship indicator race?
Well, maybe it just cancels out, and makes him average.
No. That can't be right.
Jamie McMurray is a lot more than average.
Good win Jammie!
