Scott Wimmer has grabbed one of the final full-time seats still up for grabs in n🌸ext year's NASCAR Nextel Cup Series with news that Morgan McClure Motorsport have secured the services of the former Bill Davis🐽 Racing driver for its newly sponsored #4 Chevrolet.

After running with Lucas Oil backing for the past season, McClure also confirmed that the #4 Chevrolet will carry Aero Exhaust colours in 2006, the deal with the 'new to NASCAR' company perhaps being made easier by recent news that the #4 t✅eam will have a guaranteed starting spot in the season opening Daytona 500.

Twenty-nine year-old Wimmer has spent the last two seasons with Davis' #22 Caterpillar sponsored team, his Nextel Cup learning process not aided by the fact that car manufacturers Dodge withdrew all factory support mid way through his rookie year. Despite being a little crash-prone, Wim𒁃mer finished third in the 2004 Daytona 500 and kept the #22 team inside the top 35 in owner points for all bu🦩t a single week during 2005.

For the first time in several years, Larry McClure's team h🅷eads into a new season with some real hope after Mike Wallace manfully fought to keep the team on the radar throughout 2005. Wimmer should have a safe passage into the first five events of the year at least thanks to the withdrawal of the #77 Penske/Jasper team. In that time the third year driver should have enough of an opportunity to keep the team in the top 35 and allow them to work on their race set-ups without the hassle of fretting on a spot-on Bud Pole qualifying effort.
