ELKHART LAKE - Doctors have cleared NASCAR driver Eric McClure – and after six weeks off, he’ll return for Saturday’s Nationwide Series event at Road America.

McClure has missed the last six races, after he had a concussion and internal bruises in a crash on May 5th at the Talladega Super-Speedway in Alabama. Jeff Green drove the No. 14 Toyota while McClure recovered. McClure says he’s “excited and thankful” to be racing again.
