McMurray proves to be fast learner
CONCORD, N.C. -- Jamie McMurray must have dainty feet.

The glass slipper fits quite well.

McMurray, making just his second career Winston Cup Series start in the No. 40 Coors Light Dodge substituting for injured Sterling Marlin, won the UAW-GM Quality 500 Sunday evening at Lowe's Motor Speedway, making him the quickest winner in NASCAR's modern era.

McMurray, who made his Winston Cup debut one week ago at Talladega, started fifth and ran in the top 10 for more than half the race. He nabbed the lead for the final time by passing Mark Martin with 30 laps remaining.

From there, he rode along quite comfortably until the final lap, when Bobby Labonte pulled up to his right rear quarter panel, only to have the youngster fend him off. More
