The Scene Vault: Larry McClure Overcomes Prison Sentence

By Rick Houston

Larry McClure had been to the top of the mountain as a NASCAR team owner.

Three times, his drivers won the Daytona 500. In all, they won 14 Winston Cup races. The number 4 Kodak-sponsored car became one of the sport’s most recognizable cars in the 1980s and 1990s. But then … then came the fall.

McClure was eventually sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for pleading guilty to five counts of filing a false income-tax return, obstructing the investigation and lying to IRS investigators. He served his time, and somehow managed to come out the other side a better person.

This is his story.
