Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, co-owned by Fox Chapel native Chip Ganassi, will enter two cars in the Daytona 500, both starting from the back of the field.
Jamie McMurray, driver of the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops/McDonalds Chevrolet, will roll off 19th on the grid after a 10th place finish in the first Gatorade Duel qualifying race on Thursday. Juan Pablo Montoya, driver of the No. 42 Target Chevy, meanwhile, will start 35th after a crash in that same Duel race resulted in a 23rd place finish.
McMurray won the Great American Race two years ago, so it will be interesting to see if he can work his way through the pack and be a contender again. Montoya, racing in a backup car, will likely have to fight a little harder to get to the front.
You can catch the race on FOX, Sunday at noon from Daytona International Speedway.
