Jamie McMurray found a new ride for 2010 and quickly found himself in Victory Lane at NASCAR’s biggest race — the Daytona 500 — celebrating with car owner Chip Ganassi and Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris. McMurray thanked them and fellow car owner Felix Sabates for bringing Jamie on board to pilot the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Boats Chevrolet for Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing this season after four years with Roush-Fenway Racing.  McMurray’s fourth career Sprint Cup victory marked his third win on a superspeedway and puts him on top in the 2010 Race for the Chase.  Fighting back tears of joy at times, Jamie spent several hours in post-race media obligations Sunday night at the track and then boarded a NASCAR plane on  Monday morning to do a media tour in New York City.  Sometime on Monday he plans to grab a Big Mac at McDonald’s as promised in his Victory Lane celebration.
