Dodge/Save Mart 350 - P. J. Jones Notes

P. J. Jones 2006 Event Preview
Morgan-McClure Motorsports (MMM)
No. 4 Aero Exhaust Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
Race: 16 of 36 – Dodge/Save Mart 350
Track: Infineon Raceway

Last week:
Morgan-McClure Motorsports and driver Scott Wimmer finished 31st in the rain shortened 129 lap 3M Performance 400 at Michigan International Speedway. The team remains 39th in owner points

Morgan-McClure Ride
Chassis No.: Primary: 68
Back-Up: 59

  • Chassis 68 has been used at every road course race for the past 3 years. Last year it posted a 32nd place finish with P.J. Jones.

    Scott Wimmer Quotes:
    “I believe I could go there [Infineon] and probably get our car in the race, but if I had a problem somewhere on the course qualifying the car, I might not be able to recover and make it up somewhere else on the course as well as someone like P.J. who has done road course racing a lot more. It just made good business sense with our recent drop to 39th in owner’s points, to take advantage of this opportunity to hopefully get a really good finish for our team. I plan to talk with P.J. before the race and I believe he will he will do a good job for our team.”

    P. J. Jones Quotes:
    “I’m excited about being able to go back to Infineon Raceway with the Morgan-McClure bunch. I got to race there last year with them and also at Watkins Glen and I always enjoy driving for Larry [McClure] and Tim [Morgan]. I think we will have a lot better opportunity this year by getting started earlier and having two weeks to prepare for the race rather than two hours.

    I really didn’t think the opportunity to race at Infineon was going to present itself being this close to the race. I thought I had exhausted all my opportunities and it just wasn’t looking good. I guess when it rains it pours because I had planned to go to Milwaukee and race a Busch car but I think it’s more important for me to go to Infineon and race the 4 car.

    I think this is a good opportunity for us to come out with a top ten finish. We were running good there last year and ran out of gas. We had raced into a top ten last year at Watkins Glen and had a brake rotor failure so I think we obviously have a good shot at having a good finish. Larry says his motors are getting better and better so if we can start off where we were with the chassis at Watkins Glen I think we will have a good opportunity for a good finish that can help get Scott Wimmer and Morgan-McClure closer to that 35th spot in owner’s points.”
