McClure is once again considered a “Rookie” for the sixth time this season, thus the yellow strip must be placed on the bumper of the No. 0 Hefty® Chevrolet
Johnny Davis Motorsports has competed at Dover International Speedway four times and has a best start of 34th and a best finish of 25th, both of which occurred during the 2005 fall event.

Eric McClure, driver of the No. 0 Hefty® Chevrolet quotes:
(On Charlotte)
“I’m still extremely disappointed and bitter about Charlotte. I have until Thursday to get over it. Our Hefty® team really had a nice run and we’ve come a long way in a short amount of time. It was good, but just wasn’t good enough given the draw, champion’s provisional, and strength of cars. My guys work so hard, and we’re getting closer to the competition, but we have nothing to show for it.”
(On his expectations of Dover)
“I’ve never been to Dover. We have a couple of practices on Friday. We just need to get laps during the first practice and get up to speed. Then we can watch the Trucks and Cup cars, pick up some things, and work during the second practice on getting the Hefty® Chevrolet into the field. They say Dover is “Bristol on steroids” and we ran pretty well at Bristol. We just need to make as many races as possible and do the best we can in them and build for 2008.”
