Eric McClure Quotes: (On Memphis) “It’s a fun racetrack, very old school. I had a decent run there a couple of years ago, a potential top 10 run going. There is always a lot of cars at Memphis due to it being a stand-alone race, so we will have to get qualified. We’re taking the same car to every track now, and it was good at Richmond, so hopefully we’ll be prepared and can get in the show.”

(On his St. Jude’s Participation) “St. Jude’s is such an awesome organization and the work they do is amazing. It’s an honor for the Heftỷ racing team to have the opportunity to participate with them for this event. It puts everything into perspective to be around these children, see what they go through, and the smiles they wear. It’s really humbling.”
