- In seven starts, the driver has a best finish of 28th and two DNFs, resulting from an engine failure and accident. He has only logged 75.2% of the total laps, making ACS one of his most šunfavorable race tracks.

- McClure will pilot chassis # 44 during the Stater Bros. 300. This chassis was last run during the 2009 season finale at
Homestead-Miami Speedway where the Hefty® Odor Block™ Ford qualified 33rd and finished 28th.

(On his expectations for ACS)

“I haven’t had the best of luck at Auto Club Speedway (ACS) but I am truly looking forward to going back this week.š This time last year, it was my second race with TRM and one of my first races driving a coil-bound car, so it was a learning experience. Actually the whole season was a learning experience, but I feel good about how much I learned last season and how far we’ve come. We had a good run last week in Daytona and I am hopeful to carry that over to a much-improved performance at ACS.”

(On the team’s relationship with hotel partners; what does it mean for the team?)

“What a lot of people may not know is that the relationships our team, and other small teams, has with hotel partners are what enable us to keep our status as a full-time team.” Travel is a large expense in racing and when we can cut costs in that area we are able to place more resources to the on-track part of our program.š We are very thankful to have partners like this, including Double Tree Claremont.”
