Crown Royal will serve as the primary sponsor for Matt Kenseth and his 17 car next NASCAR season as Kenseth moves over to Roush-Fenway. With his arrival, that means Jamie McMurray will exit.
With NASCAR require teams to be limited to four drivers, McMurray is the odd man out for owner Jack Roush who will team Kenseth up with Columbia, MO native Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, and David Ragan.
McMurry has just two career wins and this season has managed just two, top 10 finishes as he sits in 20th place in the Sprint Cup Standings. There were some who thought perhaps Ragan, who is currently 30th would be let go, but Roush-Fenway sees Ragan’s age and upcoming potential as a big plus over McMurry who hasn’t progressed as well as perhaps the team had hoped.
