US Cellular 250 QUOTES & NOTES: Iowa Speedway
Hefty®/Reynolds® Racing NOTES
25th in Owners’ Standings…Over-heating issues plagued Eric McClure and the Hefty®/Reynolds® team last weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, relegating them to a 31st-place finish. As a result, the team slipped two spots to 25th in the NASCAR Owner Standings.
Iowa Fast Facts…This weekend’s US Cellular 250 will mark McClure’s 219th-career NASCAR Nationwide Series start and his sixth at the 7/8-mile tri-oval. In five starts, the Virginia driver has completed 97% of the total laps attempted and has an average finish of 23.6. In the first event at Iowa Speedway earlier this season, McClure posted a track- best finish of 18th.
Chassis No. 7 … The Virginia native will pilot chassis No. 7 during this weekend’s event at Iowa Speedway. This chassis was last run at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in July where the team posted a 31st-place finish after running out of fuel during a green-white-checkered finish. Chassis No. 7 was also used during the series’ first event at Iowa Speedway in May, where he recorded a track-best finish.

About Reynolds Consumer Products
Two of the most trusted household brands, Reynolds® and Hefty®, joined together as Reynolds Consumer Products in 2010.

The creation of both the Reynolds® and Hefty® brands is the direct result of American ingenuity mixed with a bit of elbow grease. Reynolds Wrap® Foil was invented after the use of aluminum for military purposes diminished after World War II and became a new staple for American kitchens. Hefty® Waste Bags were first developed with excess material from an early plastics innovator, creating another household essential.

From prepping, cooking and serving, to storage and disposal, Reynolds Consumer Products provides solutions for controlling the chaos of busy households everywhere.
