Jamie McMurrayIt was announced on ABC's pre-race show that Jamie McMurray got engaged this last week.
I'm guessing he's in a pretty good mood and could this possibly explain his exuberant start on the front row. Shannon Spake from ABC / ESPN didn't pursue this line of thoughts while interviewing Jamie in the truck during the pre-race.
I can't find anything under the NASCAR banner, sooooo,
Jamie proposed to his girlfriend, Christy Futrell, last Monday at the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.
He said in an interview that he felt kind of corny, questioning the "getting down on one knee" thing. Jamie... score the points and don't start with a deficit.
Her reaction was crystal clear: ''Are you kidding? Are you serious?'. LOL... my wife did that too.

Ray EvernhamRumors seem to be aswirl that Ray Evernham got engaged to Erin Crocker.
This relationship has had quite a bit of history, from when Jeremy Mayfield socially shot his driving career in the foot when in 2006, he spouted, in a lawsuit of all things, about the team being hurt from Evernham spending too much time with Crocker, and the issues with leaving his wife.
It's been reported that Erin Crocker's Facebook account has been updated from Being in a Relationship, to Engaged. I can't confirm it because I am not a "friend" of Erin's. So is it Ray? I'm thinking Erin's Facebook page image might be a fair clue.Her website doesn't have any news either, her news page is empty, but is loaded with online ads. Huh. In fact the info on the main page seems to be a report from a news site instead of an update from the driver. Is the lack of news on her website indicative of her driving development or just an oversight?
In case you were curious:
Ray Evernham was born Aug 26th, 1957.
Erin Crocker was born Mar 23rd, 1981.
You do the math!!
