Team owner Jack Roush admits that Jamie McMurray is obviously the least productive member of his NASCAR Sprint Cup operation this season, but he did not say that meant McMurray would be the driver to leave the organization when Roush Fenway Racing cuts to four NASCAR Sprint Cup teams in 2010.

Speaking to media members at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Friday, Roush discussed the value of drivers in the garage and listed four of his drivers – Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth and David Ragan - when talking about working to keep competitors from being taken by other teams. Asked later if he'd intentionally left McMurray off the list, Roush admitted that the driver has not performed up to the standard
of the others.

Edwards, Biffle and Kenseth are all currently in Chase contention, with Ragan less than 100 points outside of what is now the locked in top 12 drivers. McMurray has been less successful this season and is currently 22nd in the Cup standings.

"Jamie is important to me," Roush said. "But today Jamie is not the driver that's been productive to the extent the other four are. I look forward, certainly I expected and expect great things from Jamie, but the productivity has not been there at this point."
