SimCraft Racing SimulationThursday, February 25th, 2010 Jamie McMurray at Apex wheel MMI recently installed a SimCraft racing simulator in MMI’s driver’s lounge, known officially as the “Smoke Lounge.” The Apex sc830 Professional Racing Simulator unit is outfitted with iRacing software to simulate real-like racing conditions and motions. The unit has already caught the curiosity of several MMI clients who have hopped on board for fun or prepare for an upcoming test or race, including 2010 Daytona 500 Champion Jamie McMurray. The unit is especially helpful to the younger development drivers that lack the track time at certain race tracks, some of which they have never visited before. It also provides the more experienced driver and their engineers with valuable set-up information for specific tracks. New track records are sure to follow. Jamie McMurray Hooks Daytona 500 WinMonday, February 15th, 2010 Daytona 500 Victory Lane (c) Getty Images 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.

Driver Lifestyle Photo ShootFriday, January 22nd, 2010 Brian Scott poses inside NC Music Factory MMI partnered with photo powerhouse Getty Images to put on a two-day lifestyle photo shoot with a dozen MMI clients at the NC Music Factory facility in uptown Charlotte.

Many commented that this wasn’t the “usual NASCAR shoot” and all seemed to enjoy the change of scenery from the typical studio posing. 1-2! 1-2!Monday, November 2nd, 2009 1-2, 1-2 (c) Getty Images MMI clients went 1-2 and 1-2 in both NASCAR races (Cup and Truck) at 2.66 mile Talladega Superspeedway this past weekend.
