McClure Hoping to Tame Darlington

VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200: Darlington Raceway

Hefty®/Reynolds Wrap® Racing NOTES:

Texas Recap: Eric McClure started the 300-mile race in the 29th position. Battling a car that lacked rear grip throughout the majority of the race, McClure visited pit road several times to receive adjustments to the car to improve its handling. By the end of the event, he was turning his fastest laps of the night and in the end, the Hefty®/Reynolds Wrap® team was credited with a 24th-place finish.

Can Darlington Raceway be tamed? This weekend’s event at Darlington Raceway will mark McClure’s 233rd career Nationwide Series start and his seventh at the 1.366-mile speedway. In six starts, the Virginia driver has had difficulty taming Darlington as he has only completed 68.2% of the total laps attempted and has recorded three DNFs. His best finish of 26th came last season and he looks to improve on that this weekend.

Chassis No. 677: Crew Chief Wes Ward has selected chassis No. 677 for this weekend’s race at Darlington Raceway. This chassis was used two races ago at California Speedway where the team finished 25th.

Autograph Session: McClure will be participating in Friday’s Nationwide Series autograph session at 1:00 PM (EST). The autograph session is located at the Coca-Cola stage in the Fan Midway at Darlington Raceway. Wristbands are required for entry into the session and they will be distributed beginning at 10:00 AM (EST). Quantity is limited.

Eric McClure Quotes:

“I love racing at Darlington, although we always seem to race better than our finishes. We’ve climbed out of the hole from Daytona, but this is an opportunity for our team to take that next step in our season.”

Tune-In: Friday night’s race from Darlington Raceway will be televised live on ESPN 2 beginning at 7:30pm (ET).  Sirius Channel 90 and motor Racing Network (MRN) will also broadcast the event live on Friday, April 11.
