Morgan-McClure Motorsports has secured sponsorship for the 2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series with Lucas Oil Products. Mike Wallace, who won the Winn-Dixie 250 Busch Series race last July at Daytona International Speedway, is owner Larry McClure’s choice to drive the car this season and he will test the #4 Chevrolet in Tuesday’s second round of Preseason Thunder. Wallace said his conversations with McClure have been ongoing, but they haven’t had a chance to sit down since the deal with Lucas was done. “First and foremost my goal is to drive Larry’s car this season,” Wallace said. “We hope to get that deal done this week, and once we are able to do that, we’ll see if it’s possible to do anything in the Truck Series.” McClure said that Chris Carrier would once again be the team’s crew chief.(NASCAR.com)(1-18-2005)
