McMurray to Drive 1 Car For Earnhardt/Ganassi in 2010

Okay, so this isn't new news, it's been public for a couple weeks now. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Driver Jamie McMurray,signed a one year deal to drive for Earnhardt/Ganassi in the 1 car with Bass Pro Shops as it's sponsor. However, I'd really like to discuss it. I'm personally really happy that Jamir McMurray has a ride for next season, I wasn't sure he would for a while since not many teams had rides available for 2010. On the other hand, I'm not happy where he's going, Earnhardt/Ganassi isn't a top team anymore in my eyes, sure Juan Pablo Montoya made the Chase in the 42 car but Martin Truex Jr didn't run all that well in 2009 while he was in the 1 car. For McMurray's sake let's hope both the 42 and 1 team's can have equal equipment and an equal chance at winning races and making the Chase in 2010. Considering McMurray's best year came while he was at Ganassi we can only hope he has a great season, gets at least one win and makes the Chase, he sure needs it, he's a great driver, he just hasn't had the best luck with the teams he's been with it seems.

As a fan of Jamie's, I hope he has a decent season so he can be resigned for a longer term deal for 2011 and beyond. What do you all think, will McMurray be their top driver or will it be Juan Pablo Montoya? Will either of them win next season or make the Chase? Earnhardt/Ganassi really needs to step things up in the Cup Series as far as I'm concerned, I believe in my heart that Dale Earnhardt Sr is rolling in his grave, he must be so upset, seeing that DEI isn't by itself anymore and isn't really a top team in the sport. Things would certainly be different with that organazation if he were still around today.
