McMurray: I'll be back at Roush Fenway in '09

INDIANAPOLIS – Jamie McMurray said emphatically that he will be back at Roush Fenway Racing next season with Crown Royal as the sponsor of his No. 26 Ford – period.
“If you guys want to print the truth, the truth is I’ll be there with Crown Royal,” he said. “There’s not a question. It’s 100 percent. I know there’s been some reporters that have speculated again on where I’ll be and who the sponsors will be – and certainly everyone is entitled to their opinion – but I wish that for all the media that they would base it on facts.”
McMurray had been speculated as a candidate for Richard Childress Racing’s new No. 33 car, but the driver said “there’s no truth to that.”
The rumors flared again at Indianapolis after team owner Jack Roush left his name off a list of drivers who are locked in for the future. Roush has five cars and must reduce to four by the end of next season.
But McMurray said he was puzzled as to why Roush would say that.
“They haven’t discussed that with me and I don’t think that’s really even been discussed,” he said. “I can’t control what Jack says, and sometimes Jack will go off a little bit and it maybe gets out of control. It’s not that big of a deal.”
With McMurray sitting 22nd in points with just three top-10 finishes – a performance well behind the rest of his Roush Fenway teammates – he said that Roush was probably just “stating the obvious.”
“We’ve got to get our performance better,” he said. “It’s not where I want to be, or the team or Roush Fenway or Crown or Irwin – we’ve got to get better.”
