Crown Royal to honor McMurray with donation
As the official spirit of the No. 26 car, Crown Royal wants to take the lead in drumming up excitement for NASCAR fans, and reminding them of the importance of responsible drinking. The Century Council is a charitable organization that along with Diageo – its leading contributor – and Crown Royal, is committed to eliminating drunk driving and promoting responsible decision-making as it pertains to consuming beverage alcohol.
After rolling off a third place finish in Texas last year, Crown Royal is confident that its driver will bring home the trophy.
“Jaime’s Talladega win has provided the perfect opportunity to congratulate him and the team, as well as give them added incentive to support such a great cause if they repeat the victory," said Guy Smith, Executive Vice President, Diageo and Crown Royal. “When a NASCAR driver celebrates a triumphant finish at the podium, fans will notice they celebrate with a bottle of champagne. This time, the celebration will be with Crown Royal, and we’ll be writing a $50,000 check."
In addition to the donation to The Century Council, Crown Royal provided the entire No. 26 team and McMurray with embroidered Crown Royal bags with a congratulatory message
