The start of the 2009 Racing Season has proven to be an exciting adventure. Daytona race weeks saw some hard hits but Front Row Motorsports came out with a 19th place finish by John Andretti in the #34 Window World Chevrolet.

This season Front Row Motorsports has made some changes to the program. Tony Raines in the #34 Chevy (previously #24) will run a full Nationwide race schedule. Raines’ start at Daytona began with a great run in Saturday’s Nationwide race. Tony was running in the 11th spot when he hit the wall with only a few laps to go to the checkered flag. After hitting the wall, Tony fell back to the 31st position to finish the race. He also sat in the driver’s seat for the Cup Series #37 Long John Silver’s Dodge Charger and was in the field along with teammate John Andretti for the first of the Gatorade Duels. Andretti is once again in the driver’s seat for the Cup Series #34 Chevrolet. Working with crew chief Steve Lane, Andretti started the Daytona 500 in the 37th spot after qualifying 36th on speed finishing 25th in the first race of the Duels. The race was called on account of rain at lap 152; Andretti was credited with a 19th place finish.

2007: Eric McClure in the 24 Car: The Virginia native made his first appearance at the Atlanta Motor Speedway during the 2007 season.

• McClure suffered a gear failure in his debut to finish the Nicorette 300 in the 37^th position.
• The Hefty® brand team continues to fight for a spot in the highly-valued top 30 in Nationwide Owners Points.

 Eric McClure, driver of the No. 24 Hefty® brand Chevrolet quotes:

 (On last weekend’s finish and effort by the Hefty® Racing Team)

“It was better than California, which is a step in the right direction.  The practice was better, qualifying was better, and the first part of the race was better. We fell off a bit during the race for some reason and lost some laps, but attrition gave us a good finish and points day.

 (On his thoughts returning to Atlanta Motor Speedway after a disappointing debut)

“I’m ready to get back and try it again.  I see so much potential with my team and with myself that I need to keep getting back in the car and trying to get the laps that will help us get where we want to go over the course of this year and in 2009.”

Eric McClure/ No. 24 Hefty™ Brand Chevrolet Post Race Report: Camping World 300 Daytona International Speedway

Daytona Beach, FL (February 17, 2008)— Eric McClure, driver of the No. 24 Hefty® brand Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, had high hopes coming into the season opener at DIS after posting the 3^rd fastest time in Friday’s final practice.  However, his hopes were shattered early on race day as his Chevrolet began to lose power and eventually encountered engine failure relegating him to a 34^th-place position. 

After qualifying 36^th, the strategy for McClure and the Hefty® brand team was to stay patient and ride in the back of the pack until the later stages of the race.  However, by lap 5, McClure had lost the draft and informed the crew of a “wicked loose car” and “it feels like the motor is losing power.”  Crew chief Cal Boprey encouraged the driver to ride the problem out as long as possible and bring the car home safely.   

After losing a lap to the race leader on lap 38, McClure brought the Hefty® brand Chevrolet to pit road under green flag conditions to receive four tires, fuel, and a chassis adjustment.  Upon returning to the track in the 39^th position, McClure immediately informed the team that “the car has a vibration; it feels like I have a loose wheel.”  Once again, the No. 24 machine entered pit road where the crew tightened the lug nuts on all four tires and McClure re-entered the track in the 39^th position, two laps down to the leader. 

As the race progressed, problems continued to be an issue for McClure and the Hefty® Racing™  team.  McClure continued to monitor the engine and gauges inside the cockpit and report the status to the crew.  Finally, as McClure took the white flag, the engine began to fail, and the VA native killed the engine and took the checkered flag as he coasted down pit road, resulting in a 34^th place finish in the Camping World 300.   

Eric McClure quotes: 

“I’m very disappointed.  We had an awesome racecar in testing and in practice and we have nothing to show for it.  We just lost power early on and kept losing it throughout the race.  The oil pressure and rpm’s dropped severely and the oil temperature went way up. We ran wide open for 116 laps and couldn’t go anywhere.  It finally started locking up for good there at the end.” 

“I hate it for everybody.  We had a lot of people here from Hefty® brand, Waverly Property Group and from the Chichester family.  We really wanted to do well for them and I’m just sorry we couldn’t get the finish the team deserved.  The positive thing is at least we were fast enough for once to warrant being disappointed.  Other than that, it was a good week for all of us.  Our cup guys made the 500 with Andretti and I was glad to have been a part of that.  We’ll try our part again next week and see what happens.”

The Hefty&® brand continues to be one of the country’s most respected brands and to have the opportunity to continue my relationship with their employees and consumers is personally very exciting. Fans have also really supported the entire Hefty&® Racing™ program this season, and I hope that they will continue to support the orange Hefty&® brand machine in the NASCAR Nationwide Series next year.” Bob Jenkins Quotes: “FRM is thrilled about the opportunity to partner with a talented driver like Eric McClure and a tremendous sponsor such as the Hefty&® Brand. We have been looking for the right opportunity to expand into the Nationwide Series, and we felt like this was the perfect situation for all parties involved.

Driver:  Kevin Lepage

 

Sponsors: 

Primary Sponsor:  Long John Silver's

Finish:  42^nd, completed 127 laps, had to leave the race for Transmission failure.

 

Notes:  This was Kevin's 200^th career NASCAR NEXTEL Cup start.

 

Race Run Down:  

When the race started out the #37 Long John Silver's Dodge Avenger was headed in the right direction.  Kevin picked up a number of spots in the first couple of laps.

 

Unfortunately bad luck struck after the competition caution on lap 40.  After the pit stop Kevin said something wasn't right with the transmission.

 

After the 2^nd caution on lap 116 Kevin dropped to the rear of the field because he had lost gears 1 and 2, and he didn't want to cause a pile up as he tried to get up to speed on the restart without the 1^st 2 gears.

 

On the restart after the 3^rd caution the transmission gave out completely and the team had to park the #37 Long John Silver's Dodge Avenger.

 

Driver Quote:  Kevin Lepage - ''The car felt good.  It really came to us on long runs.  If it wasn't for the bad luck with the transmission I think we could have had a really good finish.''

 

Owner Quote:  Bob Jenkins - ''I'm really proud of all the guys in the shop, it's obvious this year has not been easy, but the guys have continued to work hard and bring competitive cars to the track each week.  It was an honor to be a part of Kevin's 200^th start.  His longevity says a lot about Kevin's ability to drive at the highest level.''

March 22, 2007 - FRONT ROW MOTORSPORTS TO FOCUS ON THE #37

Denver N.C. - Front Row Motorsports announced they will be focus primarily on the #37 Dodge for the reminder of the 2007 season and that the team still plans on running the #34 with a limited schedule.

''We would love to continue entering two cars each week, but in today’s climate, we feel that focusing on one car will give us our best shot at making races,'' said team owner Bob Jenkins. ''With the number of well-funded teams that are entered each week, it is very difficult for the independent teams such as ours to compete as a multi-car effort. I am proud that both of our teams have been very competitive and have been consistent in out qualifying teams with much larger budgets. As a team not in the top 35 it is not enough to be one of the 43 fastest cars each week. In order to race on Sunday over the last three races non-top 35 teams had to qualify 33, 32 and 31st respectively. At this point it’s not reasonable to expect our limited staff to be able to prepare two cars to qualify in the top 30 each week. We look forward to the reminder of the season and feel this change will give us the best opportunity to qualify for races.''

 Front Row Motorsports is still actively seeking sponsorship for both cars for the 2007 season and beyond. Please contact 865-898-0946 for information about sponsorship opportunities. Additional information about Front Row Motorsports can be found at www.frontrowmotorsports.com.

February 7, 2007 - FRONT ROW MOTORSPORTS ANNOUNCES 2007 PLANS

Denver N.C. -Front Row Motorsports (FRM) announced today they will run two (2) cars during the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup season. FRM will run the #34 driven by Kevin Lepage with Randy Seals as the crew chief.

For the second FRM entry, team owner Bob Jenkins has formed a partnership with John Carter. The team will convert the 61 number from 2006 to the #37 for the 2007 season. The team has hired Bill Elliott to run a limited number of events, with Chad Chaffin slated to compete in the remainder of the schedule. Mark Tutor will serve as crew chief for the team.

NASCAR veteran Gere Kennon will be Director of Competition and oversee the efforts of both teams. Both teams will run Dodge Chargers powered by motors built by Ernie Elliott Inc.

"Given the increased level of competition this season, I could not be happier with the group of experienced professionals we have assembled", stated Jenkins. "I am excited about our driver line-up, and with the opportunity to partner with someone like John. In addition, our affiliation with Dodge has already paid dividends in testing and with car preparation. Obviously to compete at this level, sponsorship is essential to having a successful team. We currently have several associate sponsorships in place. However, we are continuing to pursue full-time primary sponsors for both teams. Our approach has always been to build a strong foundation so that a potential sponsor would see themselves as the only missing component to our success."

I credit our recent success to the guys working on the cars and the job drivers are doing behind the wheel. We have some great people in place, starting at the top with our two crew chiefs Gere Kennon and Randy Seals. I believe we have all the pieces in place to be successful week in and week out. If we can find a sponsorship partner that can see the tremendous benefits we have to offer, I believe we can be really competitive in 2007.” Commented team owner Bob Jenkins.

The Race El Paso team qualified today for the nationally televised NASCAR race airing at noon (MST) on Sunday, August 6^th on the NBC Television Network at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The celebration comes at a time when the city of El Paso is being pounded with flash flood warnings and has seen whole city neighborhoods evacuated due to house floods and the constant downpour of rain which has caused arroyos and one dam to overflow. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has asked President Bush to declare El Paso as a federal disaster area. That declaration should come some time next week.

On Thursday, 900 people were evacuated to the El Paso Convention Center because of heavy rainfall and damage to the area just south of Downtown El Paso. Those people were housed for 24 hours at the convention center while damage to their neighborhoods was evaluated and water levels receded. Friday evening an additional 600 people were evacuated from Central El Paso and outlying communities to shelters throughout the city.

“Chad (Chaffin) qualifying is a bit of good news for a community which has had a lot of tough hurdles this past week,” said Pifas Silva, Communications Manager for the El Paso Convention & Visitors Bureau. 

NASCAR driver Chad Chaffin placed 25^th out of 50 drivers. This is the first time the city of El Paso will receive exposure during a nationally televised NASCAR race. Gary Trout Autosports joined with FrontRow Motor Sports to prepare first-class NASCAR race cars for the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard.

The exposure in Sunday’s race will give the city of El Paso remarkable exposure in one of the largest single-day sporting events in the world. The car (which features a smiling chili pepper and sunburst on the hood with the words “El Paso – Sun, Salsa, Smiles”) will be a 3,400 lbs., 825+ horse-powered “billboard” on wheels for El Paso, Texas. “Giving us a sense of pride for the city we proudly call home,” said Silva.
