Aaron’s 312 QUOTES & NOTES: Talladega Superspeedway
Hefty®/Reynolds Wrap® Racing NOTES:
Pulling Double Duty: With backing from long-time sponsors Hefty® and Reynolds Wrap®, McClure will be attempting double duty once again this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. He will not only compete in Saturday’s Aaron’s 312 in the No. 14 Toyota for TriStar Motorsports, but he will also attempt to make in his third Sprint Cup Series start at the 2.66-mile track in the No. 35 Front Row Motorsports Ford. McClure’s first Sprint Cup Series start at Talladega Superspeedway dates back to 2004 when he piloted a family-owned Chevrolet for Morgan-McClure Motorsports. He led one lap and went on to finish the event in the 26th position.
McClure Looking for Solid Finish at Talladega Superspeedway: This weekend’s Aaron’s 312 will mark McClure’s 235th NASCAR Nationwide Series start and his eighth at Talladega Superspeedway. In seven starts, the Virginia driver has completed 95.1% of the total laps attempted in Nationwide Series competition and has an average finish of 22.3. One year ago, McClure was running inside the top-10 for the majority of the race until he was caught up in an accident that relegated him to a 23rd-place finish.
New Chassis for McClure: Since Daytona, the Hefty®/Reynolds Wrap® Race team has been busy preparing cars for the 2014 season. In doing so, they have built McClure a brand new superspeedway chassis that he will pilot in this weekend’s Aaron’s 312. Thursday’s practice session will be its first time hitting the track.
Eric McClure Quotes:
“Talladega comes at a good time for us; we always seem to be competitive there. The last three years we have been caught up in late accidents, but hopefully this year, we can avoid that and get a good result.”
Tune-In: Saturday’s Aaron’s 312 from Talladega Superspeedway will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 2:30pm (EST). MRN and Sirius Channel 90 will also broadcast the event live.
