> Yep. At least I know who he is. The real owner of the car is Chip Canase. I doubt that I spelled Chip's last name right, but that's how it is pronounced. McMurray is just the driver, but he is a very good driver. In fact, he still has a year left on his current contract, and has already been hired to drive the number six car for Jack Rosche. I'm going to look up Jack's last name too. Mark Martin, Jack's current no. 6 driver, is going to retire. You don't have to be a full time NASCAR fan to know who Chip, Jamie, Jack, and Mark are, because they are the best in the racing business.

Right you are, he is just the driver. I believe it is "Ganase." Hopefully McMurray (or is that Mac) can move up one more spot for the top 10. I don't really follow NASCAR but I pay attention.

> Do you work for Texico? They sponsor Jamie's car and I'm sure they would consider it an honor to have that car in their lobby.

I work for Chevron (in San Ramon, CA) which merged with Texaco and became ChevronTexaco for a while. Now they are just Chevron. But you'll still see plenty of Texaco gas stations and bottles of Havoline motor oil.

> Now about that car. It's a show car. Most show cars have never been raced and most never will be, but they are set up exactly like the one's that go out on the track every week. I saw an IRL car in a supermarket once and it didn't even have an engine. NASCAR probably wouldn't like for their teams to do that.

I didn't look for an engine yet but the inside does look right. The funny part is seeing the stuck-on headlights that are just for show.
