Abingdon, VA (August 29, 2006) Morgan-McClure President Larry McClure announced today that the # 4 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS will be sporting the familiar red LUCAS decal on the hood for the third time this season in the Sony HD 500 at California Speedway this weekend. We are proud to have Lucas Oil as our primary sponsor for the car in California. Corona, CA, is one of Lucas Oils primary locations so we are happy to be able to represent them at a track where many of their employees live and work. We appreciate the continued friendship and loyalty we have with Lucas Oil and are hoping for a good race for them this weekend. We are very proud of our continued association with everyone at Lucas Oil.
Scott Wimmer, Driver of the # 4 Lucas Oil Chevrolet has an average finish of 27th at California and is looking to improve on that this weekend. Wimmer will have to qualify the Lucas Oil Chevy on time and expressed confidence in returning to California. With us still being a new team and having less than a year together, Im looking forward to going back to the tracks where weve already raced. We have some good notes on the things that did and did not work for us out there, so I expect to go back there and be more competitive. It will be a different race this time with it starting in the afternoon and ending in the evening, but I believe we will have a good weekend. Im proud to be driving the Lucas Oil Chevy again and we appreciate their continued support.
Lucas Oil served as the primary sponsor for the Morgan-McClure # 4 Chevy for the full season in 2005 as well as Indy and Michigan in 2006 and has long been involved in the American racing industry through multiple vehicle sponsorships and racing event promotions, at all levels. In addition to sponsorships with numerous NHRA teams, Lucas Oil has also proven themselves on the NASCAR, IHRA, CORR, USAR, ATPA and Xtreme DirtCar Series tracks across the country.
