Jamie McMurray Quotes |
| |
(Following his first victory since 2002)
Jamie: I always said for five years, however long, there would never be another victory like Charlotte. And you wait so long to win. Every driver out here can tell you how special it is. I started crying, and I'm like, 'Why are you crying?' Because I was so happy. Celebrating. | Jamie: I worked really hard this year to get my mind and my body (right). When you work out every day and you do all that stuff and you're not winning ... you almost taste it. It's a little bit emotional. You work so hard for something and then you get it. It's hard to explain to somebody the feeling that you have. |
