Jamie McMurray has had a decent career in NASCAR but has never recaptured his exciting enterance,He seems to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time on the racetrack,and has made some silly mistakes also,but through out he always seems upbeat and has that famous smile and cheerie outlook

It should also not be over looked that through his Jamie McMurray Foundation he has donated over $50 thousand
dollars to the Autism Speaks Charity a cause very close to his heart
