Eric McClure Quotes:

(On Memphis)

“Memphis is one of the best tracks we go to as far as I am concerned. The track is shaped very similar to Richmond and provides good, old-fashioned short track racing. We had a decent car at Richmond this year and I’ve run pretty well in Memphis on a couple of occasions, so I am hopeful we can have a good finish. Historically, there is always a good bit of beating and banging at this event so hopefully the Hefty® Odor Block™ Ford can stay clean and continue to get back in the right direction.”
