“The family of Eric Wayne McClure, former NASCAR driver, announces with great sorrow his passing on Sunday, May 2, 2021,” the statement said, per Fox Sports’ Bob Pockrass. “They would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support during this very difficult time.”
“We are saddened to learn of the passing of former driver and owner Eric McClure. NASCAR extends its deepest condolences to Eric’s family and friends,” racing’s sanctioning body said in a statement.
In July 2015, McClure announced that he was forming a part-time team. He partnered with NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Hal Martin and Abingdon race team owners Charlie and Don Henderson to create a two-driver team that would compete in the K&N East Series.
“I enjoy the challenge of competing,” McClure said during a press conference, per the Times-News. “I think that’s vital to the way that I’m geared, and I felt that ownership was the next logical step. But it’s only rewarding if you enjoy the people that you work with. We want high quality people here.”
The team, Martin-McClure Racing, featured Knoxville short-track racer Chad Finchum in a Reynolds Wrap-sponsored Toyota and Abingdon Truck series veteran Caleb Holman in a Food Country-sponsored Toyota. Finchum competed in seven K&N East races between 2015-17, winning one and finishing top-five in another. Xfinity Series driver Austin Cindric replaced Finchum in the No. 39 Toyota for two races in 2016, winning both.
