Driving career McClure made his Busch debut in 1988, running his own No. 83 Oldsmobile in four races. His series debut came at
Nazareth, falling out due to an engine failure. McClure's finishes improved drastically every race and by the race at
Langley, McClure earned his best finish of the year in eighteenth. Also, his best start of the year ended up twelfth at
Myrtle Beach. McClure made two starts in 1989. He finished nineteenth at
Charlotte and 25th at
Rockingham. McClure had one start in 1990. He started 41st at
Daytona, but was caught up in a crash. However, McClure still managed 22nd and the season opener at Daytona would prove to be his only 1990 start. McClure only made one career start in NASCAR's
Winston Cup Series, which came in 1992 at the
1992 running of the
Champion Spark Plug 400. He qualified the
Jim Rosenblum Racing 39th at
Michigan. He did finish the race, however, it was only a 31st place finish. McClure returned after a six-year hiatus in 1996, running three races for
Moy Racing. After finishing 26th and 31st, McClure finished sixteenth at the
Milwaukee Mile. It would prove to be his best career finish in the series. McClure was then invited back for ten races in 1997 for Moy. McClure's team struggled in his starts. His best start was 32nd and his best finish was 23rd at
Las Vegas. The poor results can be explained by his five DNFs in ten starts. McClure reappeared on the NASCAR scene in 2000, running three CTS races for Albernaz Racing. He started 29th and finished 26th at
Portland. His next start at
Texas proved to be his best. He was 21st in that race. At
Nazareth, McClure earned his best career start of 28th and looked to be in good shape for bettering his previous starts. However, a late engine failure ended his CTS career in 23rd. McClure's start at Nazareth in 2000 ended up being his last NASCAR race as a driver.
Crew chiefing career In 2008, McClure worked for
Fast Track Racing in the
ARCA Series, crew chiefing the No. 11 car full time for
Bryan Silas. In addition, he crew chiefed FTR's part-time
Truck Series team, the No. 48, when Silas and
Hermie Sadler made a combined three starts in that truck. Cal Boprey replaced McClure as the crew chief of the No. 11 of Silas for 2009, and McClure moved to the No. 15
Venturini Motorsports Chevy/Toyota, a part-time car, to crew chief drivers
Ryan Fischer,
Alex Yontz,
Dakoda Armstrong,
Justin Marks,
Justin Lloyd,
Jesse Smith,
Josh Richards, and
Steve Arpin. He left after one year to crew chief Brazilian rookie
Miguel Paludo's No. 77 car for
Hattori Racing Enterprises in the
K&N East Series. McClure was crew chief for rookie
T. J. Bell's partial Cup Series schedule in 2011 in the No. 50 Toyota/Chevy for LTD Powersports (a team owned by Joe Falk, before he owned
Circle Sport). The team shut down after just one year, and McClure went back to
ARCA crew chiefing for
Andy Belmont Racing's No. 1 Ford and driver
Mikey Kile in 2012. McClure rejoined
Venturini Motorsports'
ARCA Racing Series team in 2013. He had one win as crew chief for
Todd Gilliland in 2015 and two wins with
Christopher Bell in 2016. For 2017, he was the crew chief for the No. 15 driven by
Christian Eckes and other drivers. McClure eventually left Venturini (again) and joined
Empire Racing as the crew chief for the No. 46 car of
Thad Moffitt. The team has an alliance with
Richard Petty Motorsports. In 2018, he also served as crew chief for dirt racer Ryan Unzicker at
Springfield and
DuQuoin (when he needed a crew chief and Moffitt was not running those races). For the 2020 season, McClure worked for two teams, serving as the crew chief for
John Ferrier's family team in ARCA's season-opening race at
Daytona, and also for
Connor Okrzesik's part-time
ARCA Menards Series East team. From 2021 to 2024, McClure co-owned an ARCA team with driver
John Ferrier, Ferrier McClure Racing. They fielded the No. 44 car part-time. In 2025, McClure did not field his own ARCA team and instead joined
Nitro Motorsports as a crew chief of their No. 70 car. In 2026, he moved over to the team's new No. 90 car. ==Motorsports career results==
