Lebanon, TN (June 6, 2010)—Returning to Nashville Superspeedway for the second time this season Eric McClure and the Hefty® Racing™ team had two goals in mind; improve on their 29th-place finish from April and leave with a guaranteed starting position for the next event. Although the handling of the Hefty® Odor Block® Ford wasn’t to the liking of the driver for the majority of the 225-lap race, McClure was able to overcome his 39th-place starting position to finish the Federated Auto Parts 300 on the lead lap in the 26th position. As a result Team Rensi Motorsports (TRM) accomplished both of the goals set prior to the event and will be “locked in” at Kentucky Speedway.
