Eric McClure, driver of the No. 24 Hefty® Odor Block™ Ford Fusion quotes: (On his return to Kentucky Speedway)

“Kentucky Speedway presents the Hefty® Racing™ team another opportunity to improve on our mile-and-a-half program. We are getting stronger at each one of these tracks as I get better in these cars. We still have a way to go but as we continue to work and understand each other better there is no reason we can't improve even more, certainly on my past results, as we try to build something for the future. I'm looking forward to getting up there. It’s always a great place to race, a great facility and great fans.”
