And when the music stops… John Andretti grabs a seat. Or more precisely is placed into one.

A season of frustration has led to another change at Morgan-McClure Motorsports.

Team president and general manager Larry McClure announced Tuesday that NASCAR veteran John Andretti will drive the No. 4 car this weekend at Michigan.

“We have built new cars and improved on the performance of our engines, and we still seem to be lacking somewhere,” McClure said. “We need answers on how to get better so we decided to put someone else in the car to get feedback from his perspective and go from there.”

Regular MMM driver Mike Wallace has qualified for all but three of the 22 Nextel Cup races this season, but ranks 36th in points without a top-10 finish. McClure has asked Wallace to return for the Aug. 27 Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Road racing expert P.J. Jones replaced Wallace last week at Watkins Glen. Jones qualified 36th and finished 42nd after an accident.

“Mike had a good run for us at Bristol in the spring race,” McClure said. “Even though we were wrecked, we feel (Wallace) will give us a good solid run there again at our hometown track.”

Hmmm… isn’t this the same team that burned through 10 drivers, 6 in 2003 alone, since Sterling Marlin left in 1997?

Isn’t this the same team that hasn’t won squat since the Goody
