Richmond Fast Facts
The Virginia native returns to his home state to compete in the Emerson Radio 250 under the lights at Richmond International Raceway.
The Emory and Henry College graduate has never competed on the ¾ mile racing surface, thus the No. 0 Hefty® brand Chevrolet must sport the “yellow” stripe across its bumper for the eleventh time this season.
McClure must qualify on time as the No. 0 machine is not locked into the top-30 in NASCAR Owners Points.
Johnny Davis Motorsports has only competed in one event at RIR with a start of 39th and a finish of 42nd after experiencing brake problems on lap 55.

Eric McClure, driver of the No. 0 Hefty® Chevrolet quotes:
“Richmond has been a tough place for us in the past. For some reason, we haven't qualified for a race yet. It's a great track and we sure want to make up for our effort in May and get in the show. A lot of great cars will be there so we'll work hard and see if we can't get the Hefty car in the show.”
