Eric McClure, driver of the No. 24 Hefty® brand Chevrolet quotes:
(On returning to Nashville with a new team)
“I’ve always liked running at Nashville. To me it seems like a very large short track. We ran fairly well there in 2005 for Jimmy (Means) and the trick for us is going to be to continue to make gains on our intermediate programs. We’re guaranteed in the show, so we need to be as competitive as possible and earn as many points as possible.”
