Longtime motorsports leader Larry McClure is off to federal prison for dodging taxes.
U.S. Western District Judge James P. Jones sentenced McClure to 18 months for filing a false income tax return, obstructing the federal investigation and lying to Internal Revenue Service investigators, reports the Bristol Herald Courier. In addition, he will have to pay $125,000 in fines and restitution.
The popular stock car racer apologized before those in the Abingdon courtroom, including the 50 or so fans who had come to show support.
