As the Daytona 500 sits under a rain delay, drivers with time to kill are being encouraged to make their way to the NASCAR on FOX booth—not just to talk racing, but to grill Jamie McMurray about his bleach-blonde past.
Yes, you read that right. Jamie McMurray, the 2010 Daytona 500 winner and now a FOX NASCAR analyst, once sported a Zack Morris-inspired, lemon-juice-and-peroxide blonde look. And now, thanks to some lighthearted rain delay banter, it’s back in the spotlight.
A NASCAR Rain Delay Tradition: Roasting Each Other
Rain delays in NASCAR often lead to some of the funniest and most random conversations between drivers, media personalities, and fans. Whether it’s old racing stories, unexpected fashion confessions, or hilarious throwback moments, the extra downtime always brings out the best (and sometimes the worst) in everyone.
With the FOX Sports booth open for guests, any driver willing to step in has a golden opportunity—not just to discuss race strategy or the weather forecast, but to put McMurray on the hot seat about his past hair choices.
Will Any Driver Take the Bait?
Knowing the personalities in today’s NASCAR garage, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone—maybe a veteran like Denny Hamlin or a younger driver like Noah Gragson—takes a shot at McMurray’s teenage hair experiment.
For now, as the rain continues to fall, NASCAR fans and drivers alike wait for two things: the track to dry and someone to bring up McMurray’s blonde phase on live television.
